Aquatic Therapy Assists with a Variety of Pains & Issues
Aquatic therapy uses the physical properties of water to assist in patient healing and exercise performance. The buoyancy provided by the water assists in supporting the weight of the patient, decreasing the amount of stress placed on the joints, and thus making it easier and less painful to perform exercises. The viscosity of water provides resistance, and when coupled with the water’s buoyancy, this allows a person to strengthen muscle groups with decreased joint stress. Aquatic therapy also utilizes hydrostatic pressure to decrease swelling and improve joint position awareness.
The warmth of the water (92 to 96 degrees Fahrenheit) experienced during aquatic therapy assists in relaxing muscles and vasodilates vessels, increasing blood flow to injured areas. Aquatic therapy can especially help patients who suffer from or who are diagnosed with:
Arthritis
Balance Issues
Fibromyalgia
Injuries to the Spine
Joint Replacement Surgery
Bulging Disc
Herniated Disc
Joint Stiffness
Muscle Spasms
Muscle Strain
Osteoarthritis
Post-Surgery Recovery
Scoliosis
Tendonitis
