Off-Site Therapy Pool

Our physical therapists also work in a pool off-site in Fargo. Water has long been used for its restorative properties. The therapy pool is highly useful for children with all types of developmental challenges. The warm water allows children with high muscle tone or spasticity to move more freely. Water also eliminates gravity through buoyancy, making movement easier for children. Water can also be used to strengthen muscles with its resistance.

​

The aquatic environment is also beneficial for children with sensory challenges such as tactile defensiveness, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), and sensory processing disorders (SPD).
