We posed the question "W-sitting: fix it or not?" and the response was overwhelming! You guys are passionate about this topic! 🥰

Several years ago, we wrote an article about W-Sitting and our purpose was to educate on what this position was and what we could do about it! This infographic comes straight from that post.

If you would like a handout to share with families about W-sitting, comment "W" below and we will send it right to your inbox!

When a stroke strikes, it doesn’t just affect movement — it changes a person’s independence, confidence, and daily rhythm of life. For Dr. Priya, this wasn’t just a medical case — it was her own father.

Her father, who was right-handed, experienced paralysis on his right side, making even the simplest of tasks—writing, eating, driving—impossible overnight. But because his family acted quickly and began physiotherapy at ATG soon after the stroke, his recovery became a story of resilience and steady progress.

Through a combination of timely intervention, consistent rehabilitation, and multi-modal therapy—including land-based exercises and hydrotherapy—he regained strength, coordination, and confidence.

Today, he has regained around 90% of his pre-stroke abilities. He can write his signature again, move freely, and has even reinstated his driver’s license—getting back to the life he loved.

Early action, the right guidance, and consistency made all the difference. 🌿

Beyond balance, strength, and coordination, aquatic therapy gives them something even more powerful: connection. In group Halliwick sessions, every laugh, splash, and shared success helps build social confidence and emotional growth.

Many of our kids who once hesitated to engage now look forward to seeing their pool friends each week — cheering each other on, celebrating small wins, and learning that therapy can be joyful too.

Every movement in the water tells a story — of strength, control, and confidence.

For children with Down Syndrome, therapy through the Halliwick Concept is more than learning how to float or swim — it’s about understanding their body in a completely new way. The buoyancy of water allows them to move with freedom, while resistance gently strengthens the muscles that support posture, balance, and coordination.

What we see as play is actually powerful therapy.
Each turn, kick, and balance regained builds their foundation for independence — both in and out of the pool.

At ATG, we’ve seen how the right environment can unlock potential that’s been waiting to shine.

Not all swimming is the same.

While conventional swimming focuses on strokes, Halliwick focuses on control, balance, and confidence.
Before a child learns to swim, they first learn to trust their body in water.

That’s the Halliwick difference 💙 — therapy that builds freedom, not just skill.

Why does water work wonders for children with Down syndrome?

Because in water, every movement feels lighter, every effort feels possible.

Buoyancy supports them, warmth relaxes them, and gentle resistance helps them grow stronger — all while having fun.

That’s the magic of aquatic therapy — freedom, strength, and confidence, all in one place

Not every step starts with a smile 😊 — but every bounce brings progress!

Weight-bearing exercises like this help build strength, balance, and confidence over time.

It’s okay if they don’t love it right away — what matters is that they keep trying 💚

Today, we celebrate strength, resilience, and endless potential. 💚

Every child with cerebral palsy deserves the chance to move, play, learn, and thrive — and with the right therapy, support, and community, they absolutely can.

This World Cerebral Palsy Day, let’s create a world where ability shines brighter than limitations. 🌍

🌍💚 World Cerebral Palsy Day | October 6 💚🌍
Theme: Unique and United

Today, we join the global celebration of World CP Day—a powerful movement that honors individuality, raises awareness, and drives advocacy for real change. From policy reform to lifelong care, this day is about amplifying the voices of those with cerebral palsy and the communities that support them.

💚 At ATG, we’re celebrating with creativity, movement, and connection:

🎨 Art Jamming/Therapy Session led by Sharon Abdullah from Meraki Studio—where expression meets healing.
🏊‍♂️ Full-day Pool Sessions inspired by the Halliwick Concept—a philosophy born in the 1940s that empowers children with CP to move freely, confidently, and joyfully in water.

🌊 In water, we are equals.
🌊 In movement, we find freedom.
🌊 In community, we are united.

Whether through art, aquatic therapy, or innovative land-based sessions, we remain committed to inclusion, inspiration, and innovation—because every child is unique, and together, we are united.

💚 Wear green today to show your support for the CP community!
