Warm-water—A recreational therapy intervention: A case report

Abstract

The use of the aquatic environment, as a modality and a setting for treatment, is well documented in healthcare literature.1-13 The application of aquatic interventions by recreational therapists has also been documented but to a lesser extent.14-19 The present case report will add to the recreational therapy literature related to the use of the aquatic environment and provide insight related to a 6-year-old male diagnosed with cerebral palsy and other conditions which have resulted in physical limitations from a southwestern community who participated in a 2-month warm-water intervention program provided by a recreational therapist dually credentialed in aquatic therapy.
