Aquatic physical therapy is the practice of therapy in water. An aquatic program is designed by a patient's physical therapist as part of an individualized treatment plan to achieve specific goals. The program is based on utilizing unique properties of water like buoyancy, viscosity and hydrostatic pressure.

The benefits of performing aquatic therapy in a warm pool are numerous. It is different from physiotherapy on land, by way that the warmth and apparent weightlessness experienced in a warm water pool will:

• reduce muscle tightness
• reduce pain
• make movements easier
• help regain skills, that are often lost on land
• enhance cardiovascular response to exercise
• enhance general fitness

For clients struggling with conventional land-based physiotherapy, aquatic therapy is ideal and advised as there is more rapid progression.
