Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic Therapy can be utilized to address any number of orthopedic issues involving the low back, hip, knee, or ankle. This style of therapy is quickly becoming well known for its amazing effects with speeding recovery and rehabilitating injuries. The fastest way for a patient to recover from an injury is to begin the rehab process as soon as possible, but often time pain levels make it difficult for patients to do so.
The pain commonly associated with rehab can be decreased/eliminated in water because it reduces the weight bearing on joints. Once in warm, soothing water, you can expect increased range of motion, decreased muscle spams and pain. Water resistance helps to strengthen muscles and reinforce balance. Water resistance automatically creates an easy or hard workout based on patient exertion. Exercises are more enjoyable and patients exercise at their own comfort level.
Exercising in water allows you to build strength in a less painful environment. After initial evaluation, we will customize an exercise program that will fit your needs. Our experienced therapists will guide you in exercise using hydrostatic pressure for resistance. The strength you build in the pool will allow you to live a more active and pain-free lifestyle.
