Making Therapy Fun! Using Therapeutic Aquatics for Functional Gains in Pediatrics

Description

Learn treatment techniques to emphasize the strengthening and symmetry of the trunk while activating and strengthening the extremities towards a functional outcome.

A problem-based approach is used to determine the aquatic treatment strategies best suited to the pediatric client; based on their identified functional outcome, the task analysis of that outcome, and the impact of water on their movements.

A treatment demonstration will assist in planning and integrating aquatic and land-based interventions. There will be a lot of pool lab time to practice the techniques under supervision.

This is an introductory level course.
