Benefits of Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic/Water therapy provides numerous benefits:

  1. Increases circulation and decreases swelling. In water, hydrostatic pressure and increased mobility combine to help improve blood flow and decrease swelling.
  2. Reduces pain and muscle spasms. Hydrostatic pressure of water provides compression during water therapy. With muscles stimulated underwater, the body relaxes and exercises are more comfortable to perform.
  3. Less stress on affected bones, muscles and tendons. Buoyancy of water makes patients up to 80% lighter! Without the stress of gravity, the body is more relaxed and exercises can be performed more easily.

Aquatic therapy is a MUST for athletes and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for patients recovering from injuries or rehabilitating after surgery.
