What is Aquatic Physical Therapy?

Aquatic Physical Therapy is a way to unload or relieve physical stress to the body by using the weightlessness and natural resistance of water. This provides the body with additional support to make movements easier and less painful. Your body only feels a fraction of your weight, which in turn increases your tolerance for activity. By using the water to facilitate strength, balance, and range of motion, you will progress faster towards your goals.
