Aquatic therapy uses the physical properties of water of buoyance and resistance to work muscles and challenge the cardiorespiratory system in individuals who have weight bearing restrictions and other physical limitations that require water as resistance.
Aquatic therapy takes place in a pool with guided assistance from a therapist or trained healthcare specialist.
- The buoyance of the water allows for exercise in a way that reduces the forces applied to the joints of the body where weight bearing forces may cause excessive pain or contribute to further damage of healing tissues.
- The hydrostatic pressure can help reduce swelling and provide a sense of stability to healing joint.
- As with all exercise, aquatic therapy and its ability to challenge the range of motion of joint movement, challenges the proprioceptors and improves their sensitivity – an important rehabilitation goal for those who have sustained joint trauma and injury.
- The warmth of the water provides the thermotherapy effects of enhanced blood flow and muscle and soft tissue relaxation to aid patients suffering from muscle spasms, muscle aches, back pain, fibromyalgia, and other musculoskeletal disorders.
- Provides what some patients refer to as a more comfortable setting for receiving physical therapy treatments.
