Are YOU working through an injury or rehabbing after surgery? Need a rest day as a competitive athlete?
Aquatic/Water therapy provides numerous benefits:
- Increases circulation and decreases swelling. In water, hydrostatic pressure and increased mobility combine to help improve blood flow and decrease swelling.
- 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.
- 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.
