Warer Therapy is one of the most important therapies in the physical therapy unit. This is a very suitable treatment for a country like Sri Lanka. The reason is the abundance of water in almost any part of Sri Lanka.

When using water as a treatment, children are actively participating for it and gaining treatments. Therefore, this treatment refreshes the mind and reduces stress. The basic principle used in this water treatment is the uplift thrust, which is a unique quality in water.

Children who have difficulty in walking can easily walk in the pool as their feet can be easily lifted against gravity due to the upward thrust of the water. In general, we can change the direction of water flow in our institute's pool from different angles. Some devices have been designed to increase the speed and direction of the child to the speed of water. This involves performing the kinetic exercises of the legs.

Everyone needs sensory stimulation in order to comprehend the world around them. The only way we can get information in to our brains is through our senses. There are some children who have difficulties in sensory processing which usually can be observed from their behavior.

Sensory processing Disorder or SPD (also called Sensory Integration Dysfunction) is a neurological disorder in which the sensory information that the individual perceives results in abnormal responses. Sensory processing disorders usually associate with certain number of disorders such as ADHD, anxiety disorders and ASD. There are 3 categories of sensory processing disorder such as Sensory Modulation Disorder, Sensory Based Motor Disorder and Sensory Discrimination Disorder. The children with Sensory processing disorder shows some signs such as dislike of textures such as those found in fabrics, sickness or threat induced by normal sounds, lights, movements, smells, tastes, seeking or making loud noises, fidgeting, impulsiveness and etc. These signs and behaviours may interrupt their attention, social interaction, communication, education and other day to day activities.
