Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic therapy is a type of physical therapy that is performed in the water

Water can be a huge help in physical therapy because it helps decrease your weight and allows you to perform exercises that might be a real struggle on land. Aquatic therapy can help with a variety of problems, including arthritis, back and joint pain, post orthopaedic surgery, and general muscle weakness. Aquatic therapy can work for all ages and ability levels.
