Abstract Aquatic Physiotherapy is physiotherapy practised in warm water and can help relieve aches and pains, mobilise stiff joints and strengthen weak muscles. The water in the pool is approximately 340 C, allowing your muscles to relax and easing the pain in your joints. The buoyancy of the water unloads the weight of the body, reducing stress on joints and allowing freedom of movement. Aquatic Physiotherapy can accelerate healing and provides a general sense of well-being. The underwater treadmill mightbe useful for rehabilitation of horses because such exercise increased the overall range of motion of joints of the distal aspects of the limbs. Water depth also affects the amount of flexion and extension of various joints differently.
