Aquatic Therapy
Water supports the body and reduces stress on joints allowing muscles to be strengthened differently than on land. This allows you to exercise earlier after your injury and to get stronger and more flexible when your body cannot otherwise tolerate loading. Aquatic physical therapy can help you improve your motion, strength, balance, coordination, and endurance and can be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with land based physical therapy programs.
