Description
[edit | edit source]
'Hydrotherapy' also known as 'Aquatic Therapy' involves therapeutically immersing the body in water where the physical properties of altered density and gravity, hydorstatic pressure, buoyancy, viscosity and thermodynamics can be used to promote physiological change [1]. The bouyancy and turbulence of water facilitates weight relief and ease of movement during rehabilitation to promote safe movement exploration, strengthening, and functional activity training [2].
