The study analyses effects of special fixing massage, ontogenetic gymnastics and therapeutic swimming practices on the cardio-respiratory system functionality in 10-12 year-olds diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy. The proposed ontogenetic gymnastics practices are innovative in the sense that the instructor applies special fixing appliances to immobilise some bodily parts in the process. The therapeutic swimming practices are versatile in terms of the child’s body positions including a variety of face-down, back-down and side positions. In some back-down practices, the child’s head is kept in water and swimming is assisted by the instructor. Special respiratory practices in water, handrail holding exercises, swimming board using exercises, instructor-supported and passive limb flexion-extension practices were applied in the practices.
The study data and analyses showed benefits of the special fixing massage, ontogenetic gymnastics and therapeutic swimming practices on the cardio-respiratory system functionality and reserve capacity building in the 10-12 year-olds diagnosed with spastic cerebral palsy. The study findings make it possible to recommend the practices in combination with the other common rehabilitative and corrective tools applicable to the children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Keywords: fixing massage, ontogenetic gymnastics, therapeutic swimming, children’s cerebral palsy.
