title: Swimming onward: the future of aquatic rehabilitation.
abstract: This article is a summary of the current state of the art in aquatic rehabilitation. It discusses affordable treatment modalities to enhance compliance. Fundamental research is lacking in aquatic rehabilitation as well as the availability of trained resource people. There is much to be gained through further development of aquatic methods, facilities, and communication pathways between medical professionals and the external world of aquatic community-based activities.
