aquatic physiotherapy
Aquatic physiotherapy, also known as hydrotherapy, is a specialized form of physical therapy conducted in water, typically a pool. It leverages the properties of water—such as buoyancy, resistance, and temperature—to help individuals recover from injuries, manage pain, and improve movement. The water's support allows easier movement with less strain on joints and muscles, making exercises more comfortable and effective. It’s often used for rehabilitation after surgery, injury, or chronic conditions like arthritis, providing a safe environment to restore strength, flexibility, and function through guided exercises tailored to the patient's needs.
