water-based rehabilitation

Water-based rehabilitation, or aquatic therapy, uses water to assist in physical healing and wellness. This approach takes advantage of water's properties, such as buoyancy, which reduces strain on joints and muscles, making movements easier. In this setting, individuals can perform exercises that may be too painful or difficult on land. The resistance of water also helps strengthen muscles. Commonly used for recovery from injuries, surgery, or chronic pain, water-based rehabilitation can improve mobility, flexibility, and overall fitness in a supportive environment. It is often guided by trained professionals who tailor activities to individual needs.
