Unique Support at Nurturing Water Therapies

Unique Support

Our services complement your existing therapies and treatment. We help people of all ages with sensory, developmental, neurological, physical or other health challenges.

We work with parents, caregivers, teachers, medical providers and other professionals in charge of your care to ensure a cohesive treatment plan.

Adaptive Swim Lessons

Here at Nurturing Water Therapies we believe that learning basic water safety and swim techniques is an essential life skill, especially for kids on the Autism Spectrum. Unfortunately, the leading cause of death for kids on the Autism Spectrum is drowning, and it can be prevented.

Our one-on-one adaptive swim lessons use techniques that place emphasis on swimming skills modified or adapted to accommodate individual abilities, needs, and goals, regardless of their age. Our lessons are created for, but not limited to, those with anxiety, physical, sensory, communication or behavior challenges.

Common Concerns

Our aquatic programs complement your therapists’ and other medical providers’ treatment plans. For those in chronic pain, the water’s buoyancy supports the body’s weight, reducing stress on the joints and minimizing pain. Exercising in the water also increases circulation and improves range of motion. The water’s resistance also helps build muscle strength and flexibility.

Water has unique properties that make performing therapy activities either easier or more challenging, depending on the need. When in water, the body only has to support 10 percent of its weight. Being in the water allows you to safely exercise without fear of falling.

For children experiencing difficulty with sensory behavior, motor planning and social interaction, we use specially designed techniques and equipment. Our private sessions allow the instructor to adjust the pace of each lesson to better fit the child’s individual abilities.

You do not need to know how to swim to be able to do aquatic exercises or aquatic therapy. If you want to learn to swim, we can teach you. For children with special needs, we assess their swimming abilities during the first session and develop an individualized swim lesson plan.

We offer a lower cost alternative therapeutic option if your insurance does not cover physical or occupational therapy. You can utilize your Flexible Spending Account to pay for our services.

Testimonials

Swimming is Essential for kids with ASD

Swimming is an essential life skill for kids on the autism spectrum. Children with autism are at an extremely high risk of drowning compared to other kids. Studies have shown that kids with an autism spectrum disorder are 160 times more likely to die from drowning compared with the general pediatric population. With our help, it can be prevented.

How I Benefited from Aquatic Therapy – An Adoption Story

From an early child I grew up alongside the pool. As a child I couldn’t get enough of the water. I joined dive teams, swim teams, synchronized swim teams, swim camps and at age 15 got my lifeguard training certification.
