Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy can help relieve pain, improve balance, and increase joint flexibility and muscle relaxation.
Under the guidance of a licensed physical therapist, aquatic therapy can relieve pain, restore function, and build strength. By harnessing water's natural resistance and buoyancy, you can safely recover without the fear of falling or putting too much stress on your joints.
