Current Projects

Prins Aquatherapy provides a multi-disciplinary approach to rehabilitation by combining active physical therapy with ongoing research in the biomechanics of aquatic motion.

Above- and underwater video analysis of the patients' movement mechanics while performing their exercises enables us to develop more effective aquatic exercises for specific diagnoses.
