It really is. If you have access to it, I highly recommend asking your physio about it.

That feedback aspect is interesting, FreshFork. It sounds like aquatic therapy isn't just about reducing load but also about improving body awareness and movement quality. It seems like a highly versatile tool for many types of injuries.

It really helped me understand proper movement patterns without the usual strain. The resistance from the water provided feedback, which made me more aware of how my muscles were engaging.

Yes, much less pain during the exercises, which meant I could focus on the movement itself. It was a great bridge to land-based exercises, helping me regain confidence without fear of re-injury due to impact.

Absolutely. The warmth and buoyancy definitely eased the pain, making it possible to do exercises I couldn't on land. It felt less intimidating too, which helped psychologically.

These are all fantastic points! The reduced impact and soothing warmth sound incredibly appealing, especially in early stages. It also sounds like it allows for greater freedom of movement than land-based exercises initially. Did you find it helped with **pain reduction** too?

I considered it for my shoulder, but opted for land-based. However, I know others who swear by it for shoulder issues because it allows for a great range of motion without gravity fighting you. The **hydrostatic pressure** also helps with swelling.
