Pool or aqua therapy is doing exercises or rehabilitation in the water.

​

Here are a few benefits of exercising in the water. The buoyancy of the water:

 

• helps to reduce the stress/ load on the  weak or painful weight-bearing legs or back

• helps to assist movements of the limbs/ back hence improving the joint range of motion 

• helps to provide resistance (when exercise with  different speed or when floats are used) to strengthen muscles

 

Pool therapy is ideal for the following  :

• back pain

• joint pain or arthritis

• post surgical rehabilitation

• fitness training
