therapeutic aquatic exercise

Therapeutic aquatic exercise involves performing specific movements and exercises in water, typically in a pool, to improve physical function, reduce pain, and promote healing. The buoyancy of water supports the body, reducing stress on joints and muscles, which is especially helpful for individuals with injuries, arthritis, or mobility issues. The resistance of water also helps strengthen muscles and enhance flexibility. This form of therapy provides a safe, low-impact environment that can improve range of motion, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being, making it an effective tool for rehabilitation and physical therapy.
