How Aquatic Physical Therapy Helps
The buoyancy of the warm water helps support your body, making movement easier and more comfortable. This allows you to work on range of motion, balance, and strength while minimizing pain and pressure on joints.
Aquatic therapy can be especially helpful during certain phases of recovery or when land based therapy feels too challenging.
