Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic Therapy/ Hydrotherapy at CDC Hyderabad

Safe • Child-Friendly • Evidence-Based Water Therapy for Children

At CDC Hyderabad, we offer specialized Aquatic Therapy (Hydrotherapy) sessions designed to support children with physical delays, ASD, ADHD, sensory processing challenges, and other developmental needs. Our therapy is conducted in a child-friendly, temperature-controlled pool, utilizing the natural properties of water.

Aquatic Therapy is a powerful therapeutic approach that uses water’s unique properties—buoyancy, resistance, and hydrostatic pressure—to enhance a child’s motor, sensory, and emotional development in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Why Aquatic Therapy/ Hydrotherapy?

For children with physical motor delays, water reduces body weight and pressure on joints, making it easier to move, strengthen muscles, and improve balance.
Water acts as a natural healer, helping children stay calm, regulated, and highly engaged. For children with Autism (ASD) and ADHD, water provides rich sensory input that supports emotional regulation and reduces anxiety.

✔ Children with Developmental Delays
✔ Children with Autism (ASD)
✔ Children with ADHD
