Aqua therapy & aquatic physiotherapy in Mohali
Water carries part of your weight and resists every movement. For the right patient, that makes walking, balance and strength work possible earlier and with less strain.
When it may help
Does this sound like you?
Aqua therapy is not swimming and not an aqua fitness class. It is structured rehabilitation using therapeutic movements selected for your condition. Dr. Neha has trained in aquatic therapy, and it is one of the specialties that sets this clinic apart in Mohali. Water and land physiotherapy are not competing treatments: some patients benefit from both at different stages.
- Knee or hip pain
- Arthritis-related stiffness
- Post-operative rehabilitation
- Back pain
- Weakness or walking difficulty
- Senior mobility and selected neurological rehab
How sessions work
Four stages, at your pace
- 01
Is water right for you?
Your condition, wound healing, medical precautions and comfort in water are checked first.
- 02
Supported movement
Buoyancy eases load so walking and range work can begin earlier.
- 03
Resistance and balance
Water's resistance builds strength; its support allows safe balance practice.
- 04
Bridge to land
Most plans combine water and land work, because stairs and daily life happen on land.
Suitability, number of sessions and setting are decided after your assessment. Clinic, home and online options where appropriate.

WhatsApp Dr. NehaIs aqua therapy the same as swimming?
No. It involves structured therapeutic movement chosen for your needs. You don't swim laps.
Do I need to know how to swim?
Not necessarily. Aqua therapy is not swimming instruction, and exercises are done in a controlled depth.
Can aqua therapy be used after surgery?
Possibly, after the wound has healed and with medical clearance where required.
Is it better than normal physiotherapy?
Not necessarily. It depends on the patient, and many benefit from a combination of water and land work.
