Introduction: During an Aquatic Physiotherapy session, we can observe that hydrostatic pressure acts to favor a greater range of motion while demanding more muscular strength, thus preserving strength in other areas. The patient begins to walk with reduced gravitational force due to the water's buoyancy, working on gait, balance activities, pain relief, increased range of motion, proprioception, balance, improved self-esteem, and quality of life. Investigating the data contained in the records of participants treated in the Aquatic Physiotherapy Internship can provide insights for a better understanding of this specialty. Objective: To identify a tool that enables the collection of information from the records of participants attended during the Aquatic Physiotherapy internship, allowing for a documentary and retrospective analysis of the participants' clinical and physiotherapeutic profiles. Methodology: Descriptive, exploratory, retrospective documentary analysis carried out by collecting information available in patient records from 2015 to 2020 at the Physiotherapy Clinic at the FAEFI Campus of the Federal University of Uberlândia, in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais. Results: We developed a spreadsheet using Excel 2016, enabling the compilation of information from the records for statistical analysis. Conclusion: The tool effectively served the objectives of this study, providing a descriptive and retrospective view of how the records were made in identified stages, and also facilitated the identification of clinical and physiotherapeutic profiles.
