Hello fellow 4p- families!
I wanted to share with you how my son Dylan has benefitted from water therapy. We purchased the Water Way Babies Pool and neck ring back in Nov. 2009, when Dylan was nine months old. My mom found it on-line and thought it would really benefit him and be a great complement to his traditional PT and OT. She was right! The first time he was in the pool he never cried or fussed, he just smiled, splashed and floated. It was amazing to see his reaction to being able to float freely in the water. It was in the pool that Dylan rolled over for the first time and grabbed his toes. Within a few “swimming” sessions he was kicking and splashing, pushing off the sides of the pool and becoming very vocal and interacting more and more. I noticed a huge increase in his core strength and his vocalizations. It has definitely helped improve Dylan’s physical and mental development. I love the Water Way Babies system and would highly recommend water therapy. We use the neck ring not only in the Water Way Pool but also in the bathtub, Jacuzzi and regular pool. Now Dylan is two years old and he gets so excited when I get out his neck ring, he starts kicking his feet, smiling and “talking” before I even have him in the water. I love it and I love to see how happy it makes my precious little boy.
