What is Aquatic Therapy?
Aquatic therapy (water therapy) can be very effective when you have a condition that makes it painful to put weight on your lower extremities, such as arthritis, knee pain, hip pain, or low back pain. During aquatic therapy, the buoyancy of the water allows for less weight acting on your lower body. This allows a patient to gain muscle strength and practice other physical function in a pool that they would not be able to do as a land-based exercise without feeling pain. Certified therapists at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy have completed advanced training courses specifically for aquatic therapy and provide one-on-one attention during treatment in the pool.

- Sports injury

- Cerebral palsy
- Fractures

- Spinal cord injury
