AQUATIC THERAPY

AQUATIC THERAPY

Aquatic therapy is a low or no-impact therapy provided in water. The use of water permits more comfortable movements as it supports the body, reduces joint stress, and provides resistance and assistance in a unique manner. It is a customized water program designed and monitored by a qualified professional. It is beneficial in jump-starting a therapeutic plan of care for individuals who may not tolerate a land-based program initially.
