Pool (Aquatic) Therapy

Participating in Aquatic Therapy allows you to move your joints with the buoyant support of water. Pool Therapy is not the same thing as swimming, but those who enjoy a water environment find Pool Therapy a great way to improve circulation, exercise joints and muscles, and for many people with arthritis, decrease pain.
