Transformative Healing with
Aquatic Therapy

Jacobo Aquatic Therapy, also known as hydrotherapy, utilizes the
unique properties of water—buoyancy, resistance, and hydrostatic
pressure—to help with rehabilitation and healing. It is an excellent
therapy for a wide range of medical conditions, offering low-impact
exercise in a supportive, water-based environment.
