Aqua Therapy

Aquatic Physical Therapy is one type of rehabilitation intervention performed by a physical therapist or physical therapist assistant. Aquatic therapy can allow for earlier interventions due to the special properties of water such as buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and viscosity. Often interventions that are intolerable on land can be initiated in the aquatic environment successfully.

Interventions in the water can:

	Reduce stress on joints
	Improve balance, coordination, and agility
	Increase flexibility
	Improve muscle strength, endurance and power
	Some conditions that are commonly treated with Aquatic Physical Therapy include; low back pain, osteoarthritis, hip pain, and post-surgical patients.
