Aquatic physical therapy offers an alternative to traditional physical therapy providing therapeutic activities in warm water. The warmth and buoyance of the water promotes relaxation, reduces spasticity and improves postural tone. Water also provides a medium for increasing range of motion, improving muscle strength, increasing endurance, and improving balance and coordination.
