Aquatic Physical Therapy requires a doctor referral with a licensed physical therapist doing treatment. The therapist uses the buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure and the warmth to relax the muscles, support submerged joints and reduce or eliminate axial weight bearing, resulting in a reduction of pain.
Warm water is one of the oldest forms of medicine and research indicates warm water works wonders for all kinds of musculoskeletal conditions including fibromyalgia, arthritis and low back pain. It can also help improve your range of motion, balance strength and coordination, and may even reduce your pain medication.
