Abstract
Objective: To carry out an integrative review on the application of physiotherapy in newborns or children, also known as "hydrotherapy". Methodology: The search for references was performed in PubMed, SciELO, Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases using the following health descriptors: "hydrotherapy", "infants", "newborn", and in Google Scholar the keywords: "Hydrotherapy", "newborn", "children" and "aquatic physiotherapy" during the period 2007 to 2017. Results: We found 8 studies that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria of this study. Final considerations: Given the analysis of the studies we can consider that there is a shortage in the literature on the subject of aquatic therapy in newborns or children. More well-designed clinical studies are needed to analyze the application of aquatic physiotherapy to this public and its benefits.
