Aquatic Therapy

If your life is anything like ours, you've spent plenty of hours involved in therapy.  Jackson has been involved in one form of therapy or another since birth.  It's part of our family's culture. 

This past summer, we stumbled across aquatic therapy and fell in love.  Jackson is quite used to a therapy gym, swings, balls, tubes, etc.  But... he hasn't spent a lot of time in a pool doing therapy.  The change has been great for him.  He is excited to go.  He enjoys himself while he is there, and most importantly, he has made great progress.

For our therapy sessions, we go through Mountain Land Physical Therapy.  Mountain Land books time at the Layton Surf and Swim Pool.  Mountain Land's trained therapist, Michelle, conducts the therapy sessions and she is wonderful with Jackson.  She quickly identified how and when to push him and how to help him stay motivated to work hard.  





Whether it is weights in the pool, using rings to work on flexibility, and coordination, or jumping the "waves" to help build muscle during the open swim sessions, aquatic therapy works for Jackson. 





Michelle, or fearless leader.


Jackson even worked on balance.  Who knew you could hit so many of his target areas in just one session.



Because Layton Surf and Swim is wheelchair accessible, aquatic therapy is a great option for those in wheelchairs.  Some of Michelle's clients before and after Jackson's session used chairs.  The water is a perfect way to stretch those tight muscles and to give little bodies the freedom to move. 

One other great perk is with regards to insurance billing.  For us, aquatic therapy was billed to our insurance as a form of physical therapy and made the therapy much more economical.

Whether it is at Layton Surf and Swim with Mountain Land or with a therapist at your local pool, we highly recommend you check it out.  I just wish I would have known about this therapy option years ago.  Therapy is once again, FUN!

As a sign of gratitude on how my son was saved from autism, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
My son suffered autism in the year 2013 and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because he was my all and the symptoms were terrible, he always have difficulty with communication,and he always complain of poor eye contact  . we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure him. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and they left the contact of this doctor who have the cure to autism . I never imagined autism  has a natural cure not until i contacted him and he assured me my son will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my son used it and in one months time he was fully okay even up till this moment he is so full of life.autism  has a cure and is a herbal cure,you can contact the doctor for more info on drwilliams098675@gmail.com on how to get this medication, Thanks.
