Aquatic Physical Therapy in Vero Beach, FL

What Is Aquatic Therapy?

Aquatic therapy (also called hydrotherapy or pool therapy) uses the unique properties of water — buoyancy, resistance, and warmth — to provide a therapeutic environment that is gentler on the body than land-based exercise. It is ideal for patients who find traditional therapy too painful or difficult.
