Aquatic Therapy can be more than just physical—it can provide psychological relaxation as well. Following an aquatic therapy session, one can expect to experience the following benefits:
Reduced Body & Joint Stress
The water will remove any stress or weight on the body’s joints. The water causes high-impact exercises to be gentler on your body, while still providing the same benefits. Muscles are more relaxed in the water,
Balance and Coordination
Many patients of aquatic therapy have demonstrated significant improvement in balance and coordination. This assists with more than just physical fitness—it can go as far as improving your everyday life.
Fitness & Flexibility
Aquatic Therapy has shown cardiovascular health benefits, as well as general athletic fitness improvements. The water compresses the body causing the lungs to work harder, which leads to improved cardiovascular strength.
Less Swelling & Inflammation
If you are experiencing pain from swelling and inflammation, constant stimulus from the water can prevent you from feeling pain.
Quicker Recovery
Many patients have demonstrated improvements to their recovery timelines, as well as their recovery outcomes after participating in Aquatic Therapy.
