aquatic physical therapy

Aquatic physical therapy is a rehabilitation method that takes place in water, usually in a pool. The buoyancy of the water reduces strain on joints, allowing patients to move more freely and safely. This supportive environment is particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from surgery, injury, or dealing with chronic pain. Aquatic therapy often incorporates exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and balance, all while minimizing the risk of further injury. It can be tailored to meet individual needs, making it an effective option for people of all ages with various physical challenges.
