Conclusion
Head control
The importance of the development of head control is the young child has been a subject of recent investigation by many hydrotherapy researchers who indicate that it forms a basis for development of all functions. Failure to develop adequate head control leads to the inability to position the head in space and to work against gravity. 'Where the head goes the body follows' if true on land, then it is equally relevant in water. The head controls the position of the body almost entirely. Thus the need for head control is essential.
