As a physiatrist (a physician in rehabilitation medicine,) I have seen first hand the value of aquatic activity in promoting and recovering health. I’ve overseen Olympic athletes recovering from injury, individuals with spinal cord injury begin to relearn to walk, severe fracture patients heal and recapture strength, and individuals with neurologic diseases regain strength and mobility through aquatic therapy.
