rehabilitation in water

Rehabilitation in water, or aquatic therapy, involves exercises performed in swimming pools or other water environments to aid recovery from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions. The buoyancy reduces stress on joints and muscles, allowing for movement that might be difficult on land. The water's resistance helps strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and restore mobility. This form of therapy is suitable for individuals of various ages and fitness levels and can accelerate healing while decreasing pain. Overall, aquatic rehabilitation leverages water’s unique properties to promote safe, effective recovery and improved function.
