Many physical therapy patients benefit from exercise in the water. Aquatic therapy utilizes the properties of water to expand the possibilities for patients who may have weight bearing or mobility restrictions. The hydrostatic effect of water promotes decreased swelling and the buoyancy allows exercise without weight bearing. Patients with the following conditions may benefit from aquatic therapy at the Texas Sports Medicine Center:

• Lumbar disc disease
• Osteoarthitis of the knees, hips, or back
• Stroke recovery
• Post-operative recovery from spine surgery or joint replacement
• Gait training
• Cardiovascular disease and surgery
• Cardiac conditioning
