Aquatic therapy is a type of rehabilitation that takes place in water, often in a pool. It utilizes the properties of water, such as buoyancy and resistance, to help individuals improve their physical abilities. This therapy is commonly used for people recovering from injuries, surgeries, or those with chronic pain conditions. During aquatic therapy sessions, patients perform exercises that may be difficult on land due to pain or mobility issues. The warm water can also promote relaxation and reduce muscle tension. Aquatic therapy is often guided by trained professionals, such as physical therapists, to ensure safety and effectiveness.
