therapeutic swimming

Therapeutic swimming, or aquatic therapy, involves guided exercises performed in a pool to improve physical health. The buoyancy of water reduces strain on joints and muscles, making movement easier and less painful. This setting helps enhance strength, flexibility, balance, and range of motion, especially for individuals recovering from injury, managing chronic conditions, or with mobility challenges. The warm water also promotes relaxation and reduces muscle tension. Therapeutic swimming is tailored to each person's needs, combining physical activity with comfort and safety to support recovery and overall well-being.
