Aquatic Therapy is defined as physical therapy that takes place in a pool or another aquatic environment under the supervision of a trained healthcare professional. Aquatic therapy is also known as water therapy, aquatic rehabilitation, pool therapy, therapeutic aquatic exercise or hydrotherapy.
Common goals of aqua therapy programs include: Improving flexibility, balance and coordination.Building muscle strength and endurance. Enhancing aerobic capacity, Assisting with gait and locomotion. Lastly, reducing stress and promoting relaxation
It is different from aquatic exercise or aquatic fitness because it is a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialty that requires the involvement of a trained professional and is covered by many insurance providers due to the personalized nature of the treatment.
Aquatic therapy should not be confused with adaptive aquatics, either. Adaptive aquatics is the process of teaching people with disabilities how to swim safely in the water. Aquatic therapy does not focus on teaching clients how to swim.
There are different types of aquatic therapy, listed below are a few popular examples.
