Benefits of Aquatic Therapy
- The water allows you to improve your function without impacting your joints and muscles. The natural buoyancy lessons compressive forces, making exercises much easier to perform than on land.
- A person immersed to the neck in water experiences an apparent loss of 90% of their body weight.
- In the aquatic environment, you can start moving immediately in a non-compressive environment within days of injury or surgery.
- Aquatic therapy has been shown by research studies to decrease joint inflammation due to hydrostatic pressure of water.
