Aquatherapy, also known as aquatic therapy or hydrotherapy, involves performing exercises in water to aid in rehabilitation and recovery. This form of therapy leverages the physical properties of water, such as buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure, to support and resist movements, making it easier and less painful to perform exercises ¹ ².

Benefits of Aquatherapy:

Reduced Joint Stress: The buoyancy of water supports body weight, reducing stress on joints, which is particularly beneficial for individuals with arthritis or healing fractures ².
Muscle Strengthening: Water resistance helps in muscle strengthening without the need for weights ².
Improved Joint Position Awareness: Hydrostatic pressure enhances proprioception and reduces swelling ².
Muscle Relaxation: Warm water helps relax muscles and increase blood flow to injured areas ².

Aquatherapy is commonly used for patients with neurological and musculoskeletal conditions, providing a safe and supportive environment for rehabilitation ¹.
