Aquatic Therapy Techniques

Aquatic therapy uses the natural properties of water—such as buoyancy, resistance, and warmth—to help improve mobility, strength, and flexibility. It allows individuals to perform exercises with less impact on joints, making movement easier and less painful. This therapy is beneficial for rehabilitation after injuries, surgeries, or managing chronic conditions like arthritis. A trained therapist guides patients through specific exercises in a pool, tailoring activities to their needs. The supportive environment of water promotes safe movement, encourages confidence, and can accelerate recovery while reducing the risk of further injury.
