What is Physical Therapy?

Five Types of Physical Therapy

Types of Treatment

Hydrotherapy, also known as aqua therapy, is a program of exercises performed in a pool or body of water designed to help relieve joint pain. Hydrotherapy is often selected by a physical therapist because water buoyancy takes pressure off of the joints at the same time that it allows for resistance training. As a result, the client gains the advantage of strengthening exercises with the least amount of stress on the damaged joint.
