Fiction: Hydrotherapy is only used for children recovering from injuries.
Fact: Hydrotherapy can support a wide range of physical and developmental goals for children of different ages and abilities. Physiotherapists may use hydrotherapy to help improve strength, balance, coordination, mobility, endurance, posture, and confidence with movement. The warm water environment can also help children feel more relaxed and supported while practising skills that may feel challenging on land.
