Cerebral paralysis (CP) is a term used to describe a group of motor and sensory disorders resulting from non-progressive brain disturbances. The lesions may occur before, during or after birth, leading to a poor motor control, neuromuscular disorder and inactivity. The physiotherapy treatment should be started as early as possible to stimulate neuropsychomotor development of children with PC. Thus, hydrotherapy is a therapeutic approach that is being widely used among physiotherapists in pursuit of recovery and improvement of these patients. Objective and Method: To conduct a review of publications indexed in databases, SciElo, Pubmed and Lilacs in Portuguese, Spanish and English between 1996 and 2012. Results: Sixty studies were obtained. Of these, eleven articles were deleted for dealing with issues that are not directly related to this research. Conclusion: Hydrotherapy is a therapeutic strategy of great value for patients with PC due to its effectiveness in improving posture, flexibility, range of motion, muscle strength and functionality. The combination of these benefits is reflected in the quality of life of these patients.
