BRAIN & NEURO FUNCTION DEVELOPMENT
​
Some children suffer from a delay in development in the Cerebellum area of the brain. ADD, ADHD, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and many other learning disorders are just a few well known symtoms.
Physical exercises are performed on a daily basis for just a few minutes and they come into the practise once a week and this program assists to set the correct levels of Ceretonin and Dopamin levels into action in the brain. Low Muscle tone is one of the biggest causes of low brain power and development delay.
​
We use specific designed exercises and hydro (aquatic) therapy combined in a heated pool as well as a case designed physical exercises tailored to the needs of each individual. Currently we are the only practice in South Africa that uses land and water therapy combined for these disorders.
​
We treat children with multiple dysfunctions, physical, emotional and cognitively. Low Muscle tone presents a huge problem for these children. We deal with the following under developments such as:
​
- Spatial Orientation, Short term memory and Working memory, also
- Cognitive development
- Attention, Concentration and focus for longer periods
- Executive function of the brain
- Language
- Controlling the fine movements of the eyes, hands, mouth, tongue and vocal cords, important for so many reasons
- Social Cognition
- Reading and Handwriting
- Spelling
- Organisational skills and Sequencing
- Co-ordination and balance - these are just a few areas that we specialize in.
​
Over the years, children that have been diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, Asperger syndrome, Dyslexia, Dispraxia or other learning disorders or delayed development has shown huge improvements with this treatment and therapy.
There definitly is a solution for these disorders with physical movement without chemical intervention.
​
Remarkable results are obtained after a short period of time (3-4) months.
