Evidence-based practice in aquatic therapy involves using the best available research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences to guide treatment in water. This approach ensures that the methods used are scientifically proven to be effective for conditions like arthritis, rehabilitation after injury, or chronic pain. By considering data from studies, professionals can choose exercises and strategies that enhance mobility, reduce pain, and promote healing while adapting to individual needs in a supportive water environment. This integration helps deliver safer, more effective, and personalized care in aquatic therapy settings.
