Have you heard of Aquatic Physical Therapy?
It's physical therapy that is done in a pool. There are many advantages of performing therapy in a pool such as; the water is heated to help with stiff joints, the water provides buoyancy making you feel lighter against gravity, and the water pressure helps to give joints more stability.
The effects of aqua therapy include:
-Improved mobility, strength, and endurance
-Improved range of motion and flexibility
-Reduction of pain
