Facts about Aquatic Physical Therapy
- Due to the natural resistance present when moving through the water, exercises performed by patients must be completed at a slower pace. This can allow the body to understand the movements better and improve muscle memory.
- You do not need to know how to swim to do Aquatic Therapy. The pool is only about 4 feet deep, allowing our patients to be still able to stand.
- For comfortable patients, we utilize the deep portion of our therapy pool with floatation devices to decompress your joints.
