Aquatic therapy takes advantage of:

Buoyancy – it eases the stress on your muscles and joints.
Temperature – the warm water soothes and relaxes the body.
Viscosity – the “thickness” of the water provides gentle resistance.
Turbulence – moving water gently challenges the body to maintain balance and control.
Hydrostatic Pressure – this pressure provides natural relief of joint swelling.

What the Patient will Need:

Swimsuit
Aqua Shoes
Towel
A robe to wear from the locker room (optional)
Cap (optional)
