Aquatic rescue for hydrotherapy focuses on ensuring the safety of individuals during water-based rehabilitation, particularly those with limited mobility or medical conditions. Rescuers must be trained in water safety, recognizing distress signs, and using specialized techniques to assist and remove patients from the water without harm. Skills include the proper use of flotation devices, backboards, and knowledge of CPR and first aid.
Familiarity with the therapy pool’s design and equipment is essential. Close coordination with healthcare professionals ensures swift, effective responses in emergencies, creating a safe and supportive environment for therapeutic treatments.
