Abstract
Aquatic physiotherapy offers a low-impact rehabilitation environment utilizing water’s buoyancy, viscosity, and hydrostatic pres
sure to improve movement, reduce pain, and enhance function. It is beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic
pain, neurological disorders like stroke and Parkinson’s disease, post-orthopedic surgery recovery, and lymphedema. Aquatic ex
ercise aids in joint loading reduction, muscle strengthening, and gait improvement. The modality also provides significant psycho
logical benefits, reducing anxiety and improving mood. Furthermore, it is an effective intervention for children with developmental
challenges, enhancing motor skills. Overall, aquatic physiotherapy supports early mobilization and graded exercise adherence.
