ABSTRACT:
An aquatic exercise apparatus for use in a pool of water by a person in the water for post operative and post injury muscular skeletal therapy and rehabilatation as well as conditioning and toning the muscles has a base member adapted to be removably anchored at the bottom of a pool of water with one or more pulleys removably connected on the base member and one or more flexible lines having a handle at one end which passes through the pulley(s) and is attached at its other end to at least one buoyant float member. A person in the pool of water physically manipulates the handles to overcome the resistive upward buoyant force of the buoyant float member(s) in various exercises to condition and tone the muscles. In one embodiment the base member is a platform upon which the person exercising stands, and in another embodiment the base member is a suction cup member adapted to be removably secured to the bottom surface of the pool of water. The buoyancy of each float member can be selectively altered to provide a range of buoyancy forces.
