Aquatic Physical Therapy Program
Exercising in the water is a great alternative to exercising on land, especially if you have a condition that prohibits comfortable weight bearing on the feet, ankles or knees. The buoyancy of the water reduces the effects of gravity and allows you to exercise with less physical stress upon the body.
