Aquatic therapy, often referred to as therapeutic aquatic exercise, is a rehabilitative approach that utilizes the unique properties of water to aid in recovery and wellness. This practice has its roots in ancient civilizations, where water was recognized for its healing potential. The Greeks and Romans are among the earliest to document the therapeutic effects of bathing and exercising in water, believing it could restore health and alleviate various ailments. Over the years, aquatic therapy has evolved into a structured form of rehabilitation, favored in both clinical settings and wellness centers.
