Pediatric Aquatic Therapy in Dacula, GA

Why Pediatric Aquatic Therapy?

Is your child struggling with motor skills, mobility, or muscle strength? Pediatric aquatic therapy could be the solution you’re looking for. By combining expert therapeutic techniques while floating in a pool, our expert therapists can help your child build their movement skills in a fun, supportive environment.

We’re proud to offer pediatric aquatic therapy at our Hamilton Mill location, where kids experience therapy in a warm-water pool designed specifically for their needs. Whether your child needs help recovering from an injury or improving their movement and coordination, aquatic therapy offers an exciting and effective solution.

What Is Pediatric Aquatic Therapy?

Pediatric aquatic therapy is a specialized treatment that uses the buoyancy, resistance, and warmth of water to help children improve their motor skills. The water supports and cushions the body, which makes it easier for children to move and perform exercises they may find difficult on land. It also gives children a chance to build these key movement skills without the fear of falling or getting hurt, which makes them more excited to participate.

Our physical and occupational therapists will guide your child through a series of movements and exercises in the water, which can be tailored to their specific needs. Our Hamilton Mill location features a warm-water pool specifically designed for pediatric aquatic therapy. The water temperature promotes relaxation and muscle release, making it easier for children to stretch and strengthen their muscles.

What Our Families Are Saying

The staff has become part of our village in raising our kids

“I have triplets that were born at 24 weeks in 2017. All three attend therapy through TOTS and are able to be served through the wide variety of therapy they offer. We have experienced intensive therapy training, aquatic therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech. Our kids’ disabilities range from hypotonia, sensory processing disorder, to Cerebral Palsy. We love their paddle boarding camp in the summer, and it serves ALL kids no matter their abilities. The staff has become part of our village in raising our kids… The team listens, encourages, and loves our kids so well. And as a parent I feel empowered to bring new ideas, questions, training opportunities, and my medical questions to the team.” — Abigail B.

Our entire family is beyond grateful for the impact TOTS has had in our lives

“The entire TOTS team is amazing from the office staff the therapists. We love them all! …They offer everything from intensive therapy programs (highly recommend) to aqua therapy or SLT, OT, & PT. I drive 1-1.5 hours each way to bring my two children here because they are the best. They treat them with love, respect, and they truly believe in the best for them. They push them to their personal bests, and nothing is better as a parent then watching your children thrive in an environment that is suited perfectly for them. The therapists are highly trained and qualified and show professionalism and a true love for their jobs. Our entire family is beyond thankful and grateful for the impact TOTS has had in our lives.” — Alicia B.

I hope you give them a try–you’ll be very glad you did!

We have been taking my son who has CP and epilepsy to TOTS for almost 7 years now. …It amazes me that our son is still excited to go to therapy every week at 14 years old- that shows how good they are! He has made so much progress since starting there 7 years ago- from very poor coordination and balance to quite good. Fine and gross motor activities are made fun to meet the personalities of each child.

You will be happy with any of the therapists there for PT, OT, or Speech- we have seen most of them. …Also, the front office staff are so super! …Of course, I believe that the great attitude they all show is a reflection of the owner, Noreen, who really is dedicated to all the kids and sets a positive tone for all. What a great place we were blessed with and hope you give them a try- you'll be very glad you did! — Kelli G.
