Here is Taisei at the pool. Of all the physical activities, Taisei seems to love spending time in the pool the most. As soon as he is in the pool, he gets very excited and starts kicking his legs like crazy! Since Taisei still has challenges walking, he realizes that he has more mobility in water which makes him feel good.
What you see in the picture is not just a swimming lesson. A very creative therapist named Ilana combined Feldenkrais Method with pool therapy. Feldenkrais Method "reeducates" the brain through movements. Because Feldenkrais Method focuses on the relationship between your brain and body, it works to bring out the potential ability that everyone is inherently born with. As the therapist teaches Taisei regarding various movements, signals are sent to the brain to reeducate how to move. Normally, Feldenkrais Method is not done in the pool, but Ilana who also happens to be a aqua-therapist saw a huge potential in combining both therapies. Since Taisei loves being in the pool, he seems be enjoying this therapy very much. We highly recommend it to anyone with mobility issues.
