This summer, our Ellenbrook clinic is excited to offer aquatic physiotherapy sessions tailored to support your child’s unique needs.

Whether your child could benefit from the therapeutic power of water or you’d like to learn more about how it works, we’re here to help!

What is aquatic physiotherapy?

Aquatic physiotherapy, also known as hydrotherapy, is a specialised form of physiotherapy that harnesses the unique properties of water—such as buoyancy, gentle resistance, and a playful environment—to achieve therapeutic goals.

Each session is customized to focus on individual therapy goals, including improving endurance, strength, coordination, and encouraging greater physical activity.

Who can benefit?

This therapy is ideal for children and teens with physical or sensory challenges, such as cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, developmental delays, or autism.

It offers a supportive, structured environment for those who may find swimming groups overwhelming or need additional help with coordination.

Aquatic physiotherapy not only helps build water safety, confidence, and motor skills but also enhances abilities that translate to daily tasks on land, fostering greater independence.

For children in long-term therapy, aquatic sessions add variety and excitement to their routine, increasing motivation and enjoyment while achieving therapy goals.

Support for parents

For parents concerned about their child’s safety in the water or unsure how to teach swimming skills due to coordination difficulties or other challenges, aquatic physiotherapy offers peace of mind.

With professional guidance in a safe, controlled environment, children gain essential skills, confidence, and safety awareness—while parents can feel reassured their child is progressing in a positive and enjoyable way.
