What Is Aquatic Therapy? 

Aquatic therapy, performed in pools or other bodies of water, is an alternative therapeutic option that provides gentle resistance to muscles while reducing stress on joints. Aquatic Therapy aims at increasing strength and decreasing pain in a warm water environment.

Why Might I Need Aquatic Therapy? 

You may benefit from aquatic therapy if you have weight-bearing limits after surgery or have difficulty standing for long periods of time. You may also benefit from aquatic therapy if you have:

• Osteoporosis 
• Arthritis 
• Ehlers-Danlos syndrome 
• Fibromyalgia 
• Low back pain

What to Expect with Aquatic Therapy

A therapist will guide you through personalized exercises performed in water, designed to relieve symptoms and build strength for better support on land. The buoyancy of water reduces the impact on your legs and lower back, making movement easier and more comfortable. Sessions focus on improving balance, strength, stabilization, and pain relief, while also providing education to help you continue progress beyond the pool.
