Aquatic therapy is a
type of physiotherapy that's carried out in water – usually a warm, shallow
swimming pool or special hydrotherapy pool. It's often used with children and
adults who have physical and learning disabilities.
Aquatic therapy can
help improve blood circulation, relieve pain and relax muscles. It can also
help with mobility because activities that aren't possible to do on dry land
can be performed in the water.
Exercises against the
resistance of water and dynamic exercises within the water can also improve muscle
strength, balance and co-ordination.
