Aquatic therapists require specialized training for safety and effectiveness in the water. Even top providers may develop habitual approaches when working with pediatric patients in aquatic settings. This course aims to encourage creative thinking and innovation, empowering therapists to break away from routine practices in the pool.
This is Part 2 of a 2-part webinar. You may view each part independently without difficulty. It is also part of an ongoing series, “20 Novel Aquatic Therapy Ideas,” by Andrea Salzman, Director of Aquatic Therapy University.
