Aquatic Therapy
Water reduces gravity, supports the joints, and resists movement in every direction at once — a combination land-based exercise can't replicate. For many conditions and recoveries, aquatic therapy outperforms traditional physical therapy. This hub explains what aquatic therapy is, how to find a qualified provider, and what to expect for specific conditions. None of it replaces a conversation with your doctor.
Editorial note: Articles in this hub describe what aquatic therapy programs typically involve and how to find one — not specific treatment protocols. Always work with a licensed physical or occupational therapist who has assessed your condition. Treat anything you read here as background reading for a real conversation with a clinician, not a substitute for one.
