Aquatic therapy is the evidence- based and skilled practice of physical therapy in an aquatic environment. Water’s Unique properties enhance interventions for clients of all ages, and with varied impairments. Aquatic therapy reduces joint stress and provides muscle resistance and ease of movement through a relatively low-or no-impact environment. This will allow you to rapidly improve your mobility, strength and function during the healing process.
