Aquatic Therapy offers many advantages and benefits to individuals recovering from all phases of injury or illness. Patients with different injuries can be rehabilitated in water from post-surgical, non-surgical, orthopedic, rheumatologic and neurological conditions.
The therapeutic properties of water combined with the skill of professionals and specialized training will help you to improve your mobility. Best of all, you do not have to be a swimmer to participate in or benefit from water therapy.
After just few sessions, patients experience increases joint flexibility since the buoyancy reduces the effects of gravity allowing for increased joint range of motion. The warm water also helps to relax muscles that are sore or tight, offering relief from pain and muscle cramps. Water immersion increases patients’ comfort by increasing blood supply to sore muscles and promoting relaxation.
Aquatic Therapy helps to increase muscle strength due to high resistance of water and improves balance. The uniform pressure of the water along with buoyancy provides support to your body, which allows you increased time to react without the fear of falling or getting hurt.
