Geriatric Aquatic Therapy
Geriatric Aquatic Therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy designed for older adults, conducted in a pool setting. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints, making movement easier and safer. This therapy helps improve strength, balance, and flexibility while decreasing pain and promoting relaxation. It can be beneficial for those recovering from injuries, managing chronic conditions, or simply looking to enhance their overall physical fitness. The supportive nature of water allows for gentle exercises that support physical health and improve quality of life in older adults.
