Aqua Therapy

Reduce Pain During Exercise

Aquatic Therapy helps to reduce pain during exercise and aids in shorter recovery times. Often when a patient has weight bearing issues, aquatic therapy can be a beneficial resource. Patients can still reap the benefits of exercise while decreasing the likelihood of injury.

Aqua Therapy also allows for an earlier start to therapy, is typically less painful and gives patients the ability to move freely in ways that would not be possible on land.
