Aquatic Therapy refers to the use of water that facilitates application of therapeutic interventions including

• Stretching
• Strengthening
• Joint mobilization
• Balance & gait training
• Endurance training

Advantages of Aquatic exercises are:

   Due to buoyancy, very less stress on joints.
   More calories burnt as work is done against resistance of water.
  Beneficial for therapy programs where limited or non-weight bearing is desirable and where normal functioning is limited by inflammation, pain,  muscle spasm, and limited range of motion.
  Water-walking or jogging provides you with maximum aerobic benefits without the wear and tear of high-impact exercise such as running.

  Water provides a controllable environment for reeducation of weak muscles and skill development for neurological and neuromuscular impairment, acute orthopedic or neuromuscular injury, rheumatological disease, or recovery from recent surgery.
