      • How do you communicate with a physician about implementing aquatic therapy post operatively?

            • How long do you spend in the water? 

            • 20 minutes is usually good, but you can spend anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour in the water 

              • What would you recommend for a clinician who wants to learn more about aquatic therapy? 

              • Research and reading only goes so far - get into the water and try out basic movement patterns! Vary depths, move with hands open versus hands closed Connect with and shadow others who use aquatic therapy 

                • Applicable Knowledge: What is one thing that our listeners can go and try today:
