This review is from: Hydrotherapy: Principles and Practice (Paperback)
This book gives a thorough comprehensive overview of aquatic therapy (hydrotherapy) that is easy to follow and understand. An excellent resource for contraindications, suggested activities with therapeutic goals to be achieved, as well as how to use aquatic therapy with several populations. An excellent resource for both inpatient and outpatient therapists, physical therapy as well as other therapists.
