Aquatic therapy (or water therapy) uses the natural buoyancy of water to facilitate exercise without the compressive loading forces present with routine land-based physical therapy programs.

What Is Aquatic Physical Therapy?

For patients who are in pain and are weakened due to an injury or disability, aquatic therapy offers the perfect solution to begin treatment. Water therapy sessions are conducted in PRI physiotherapy pool. The natural buoyancy of water reduces stress on the body and helps patients exercise easier with less pain. Plus, the natural pressure of water in therapy pools reduces joint and soft-tissue swelling and provides enough resistance to strengthen muscle.
