Working in the water allows children to perform and learn movements that would otherwise be too difficult to do on land.  Returning to their land-based program provides them the opportunity to practice movements which have become more skilled in the water.
Physiological benefits of an 88-92 degree pool include: decreased pain, increased range of motion, decreased sensitivity of sensory nerve endings and increased joint range of motion.
Physiological benefits of vestibular stimulation from buoyancy and resistance include: changing and improving the ability to integrate sensory information.
Viscosity of the water allows time for a child to react and experiment with the consequences of movement.
Hydrostatic pressure improves circulation, increases the work of breathing and gives 360 degrees of deep pressure.
