Aquatic Therapy
Some children respond better to treatment in water than on land. TherapyWorks uses aquatic therapy for kids seeking physical therapy for endurance, muscular tightness, standing, and balance issues as well as neurological impairments and sensory issues. Our carryover success from water to land is remarkable. If you think your child is a candidate for aquatic therapy, call the clinic to schedule an evaluation.
