Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to develop an aquomanual therapy program for workers with chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Method: This study was discussed intensively by the program development team, underwater exercise program based on the analysis of the development process program and developed a program of aquomanual therapy during 1 year. The therapy program development process consisted of analysis, design, and development components. Aquomanual therapy programs are man-to-man fundamental methods for treating chronic musculoskeletal disorders. Results: All program treatment times were 60 minutes: adaptation to the water for 10 minutes, main treatment for 40 minutes, and cool down for 10 minutes. The main treatment consisted of static stretching; manually assisted movement; mobilization; and manipulation of the cervical spine, thoracic spine, shoulder complex, and lumbar spine. In addition, treatment plan was organized by body system and consisted of four main components. Conclusion: Here we designed a new rehabilitation program by modifying land-based manual therapeutic techniques to meet the unique properties of bodies of water and maximize their benefits.
