Description
The Aquafit Hip Float is a buoyant hip support designed for aquatic therapy and exercise. It helps maintain the hips in a midline position to encourage a more functional supine kick with increased hip extension. By supporting a streamlined body position, it adds comfort and stability during rehabilitation and conditioning in the water.
