Aquatic Physical Therapy is rehabilitation, prevention and wellness for a wide array of patients in a safe aquatic environment under the supervision of a licensed physical therapist or assistant. This unique therapy employs specific protocols, but also may include swimming strokes in conjunction with treatment techniques.
The physical characteristics of water are used to support, resist and/or assist in increasing flexibility and muscle strengthening while the injury heals. Aquatic therapy is not a modality, but a procedure requiring specific skills and training to implement the aquatic techniques correctly.
