You can start gait training by putting much less weight on the joint to be rehabilitated using the buoyancy of water.<\/h3>\n

Hydrotherapy for rehabilitation is a very useful therapeutic resource.<\/p>\n

Another advantage of the aquatic environment is the resistance it offers to movement, enabling a wide range of muscle-strengthening exercises to be performed simply by using the resistance of the water.<\/p>\n

Other benefits of hydrotherapy include the benefits of thermotherapy related to water temperature.<\/p>\n
