Why Aquatic Therapy?

Water is one of the most powerful therapeutic environments on earth — allowing patients to move, strengthen, and heal in ways that land-based therapy simply cannot replicate.

Up to 90% Less Joint Stress

Buoyancy dramatically reduces impact on joints, making movement possible for patients who cannot exercise on land.

Faster Recovery Times

Water resistance builds strength without impact, accelerating rehabilitation after surgery, injury, and illness.

Safe for All Ages & Body Types

From children with developmental conditions to adults managing chronic pain — aquatic therapy meets every patient exactly where they are.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is aquatic therapy covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover aquatic therapy when it is prescribed by a physician and performed by a licensed physical therapist. Coverage varies by plan and provider. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly and asking whether aquatic physical therapy is covered under your plan. When speaking with providers found on Swimqua, always ask about their accepted insurance plans before scheduling.
A standard swimsuit is appropriate for most aquatic therapy sessions. Some patients with specific medical devices — such as external fixators or wound dressings — may require specialized waterproof coverings. Your therapist will advise you. Avoid wearing lotions or perfume on session days, as these can affect pool water quality.
No. Aquatic therapy does not require swimming ability. Sessions typically take place in shallow water, and your therapist will be present at all times. The focus is on therapeutic movement, not swimming technique.
Aquatic therapy is a medically supervised treatment program designed by a licensed therapist for your specific condition. It is goal-oriented, clinically guided, and typically involves therapeutic exercises, manual therapy techniques, and progress tracking. A regular pool workout, while beneficial, does not carry the same clinical structure or therapeutic oversight.
The number of sessions varies depending on your condition, goals, and response to treatment. Many patients see meaningful improvement within 6 to 12 sessions. Your therapist will create an individualized treatment plan and adjust it as you progress.
Yes. Aquatic therapy is widely used with pediatric patients and is considered safe when supervised by a trained therapist. The warm, supportive environment of a therapy pool is often less intimidating for children than a clinical land-based setting, which can improve participation and outcomes.
Aquatic therapy is used to treat a wide range of conditions including autism, cerebral palsy, stroke recovery, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, post-surgical rehabilitation, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, sports injuries, bariatric rehabilitation, prenatal and postpartum care, cardiac and pulmonary conditions, and more.
