What Happens at an Aquatic Therapy Session?
Patients do not have to know how to swim to participate in Aquatic Physical Therapy. Each session is individually designed to meet the patient’s needs and utilizes different equipment depending upon the nature of the condition. Treatment may include a warm-up followed by balance and stabilization exercises, strengthening, etc. A pool session may last from 30 minutes to one hour. Land exercises and manual or hands-on therapy may also be prescribed in a patient’s plan of treatment.
