Aquatic Therapy

Imagine a therapy where your child can build strength, confidence, and skills—all while splashing and having fun in the water!

At Milestone Pediatric Therapy, we are dedicated to empowering parents and bringing joy to children’s therapeutic journeys.

Our Aquatic Therapy program embodies this mission by utilizing the unique properties of water to create a supportive and engaging environment for your child’s development.

Big Gains Start with Tiny Splashes

Aquatic therapy is where therapy meets playtime in the water! It’s a fun and effective way to help kids grow stronger, move better, and feel more confident—all while splashing and laughing in a warm, safe pool.

The magic of water makes everything easier and more exciting. With its gentle support and natural resistance, the pool becomes the perfect place for kids to stretch, strengthen, and explore new movements they might find tricky on land.

At Milestone, our therapists turn each session into an adventure, tailoring activities to match your child’s unique abilities and goals. From floating like a starfish to pushing a toy across the pool, every moment in the water helps your child grow, learn, and shine.

  • In the water, your child feels like they’re floating on a cloud! The water gently supports their body, making it easier to wiggle, stretch, and explore movements that might be tricky on land. Each splash and step helps build strength and freedom for activities both in and out of the pool.
  • Water turns exercise into play! Every kick, reach, and paddle becomes a fun way to build muscles and boost stamina. Whether it’s pushing a toy through the water or balancing on a pool noodle, your child is working hard without even realizing it—all while growing stronger for the adventures ahead.
  • The pool is like a sensory wonderland! The warm water wraps your child in a big, cozy hug while the gentle splashes and bubbles provide just the right amount of sensory input. This calming, playful environment helps kids feel in control and ready to dive into learning and play with confidence.
  • There’s magic in the water that helps kids discover what they’re capable of! Each small win—whether it’s floating, kicking, or reaching a toy—sparks a sense of pride. With every splash, they’ll grow more confident, excited to try new things, and ready to show the world just what they can do.

Is Aquatic Therapy appropriate for my child?

Aquatic therapy is for any kiddo who loves to splash, explore, and grow!  Whether your child is working on big milestones or little victories, the pool is a welcoming space for kids with all kinds of abilities and goals.

It’s especially helpful for children who:

  • Want to move better: Whether it’s crawling, walking, or jumping, water makes it easier to practice!
  • Need a strength boost: The pool turns building muscles into playtime.
  • Have sensory challenges: The water’s gentle pressure and calming warmth are perfect for kiddos who need a soothing environment.
  • Have big goals to conquer: From motor delays to coordination, aquatic therapy is a fantastic tool for progress.

Every session is designed to meet your child where they are, celebrating their abilities and helping them reach for the stars.

How It Works: Your Child’s Journey In The Pool

Aquatic therapy at Milestone is all about fun, growth, and teamwork. Here’s how it typically works:

Get Started with an Evaluation
Before diving in, your child will go through a friendly evaluation with one of our expert therapists. This helps us understand your child’s goals and abilities so we can design a therapy plan just for them. We want to make sure that every splash counts toward building strength, confidence, and progress! 

Join the 8-Week Rotation
Our aquatic therapy sessions run in 8-week rotations, with each rotation focusing on building and refining your child’s skills. Sessions are held once a week, and each one lasts 60 minutes of pure water therapy fun. 

Therapy That Feels Like Play
During each session, your child will work one-on-one with their therapist in a warm, supportive pool environment. They’ll engage in tailored activities that help with everything from coordination to muscle strength, all while having a blast! Whether it’s floating, kicking, or reaching for toys, your child will be making strides with every splash.

Ongoing Support
As your child progresses through the rotations, our therapists will check in regularly to ensure they’re meeting their goals and adjusting the plan if needed. At Milestone, we’re with you every step of the way, cheering on your child’s growth and celebrating their victories!
