The Benefits of Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy is one of the safest, most comfortable treatment options a physical therapy patient will ever experience.
Aquatic therapy takes advantage of:
Buoyancy – it eases the stress on your muscles and joints.
Temperature – the warm water soothes and relaxes the body.
Viscosity – the “thickness” of the water provides gentle resistance.
Turbulence – moving water gently challenges the body to maintain balance and control.
Hydrostatic Pressure – this pressure provides natural relief of joint swelling.
Common benefits of aquatic therapy are:
Decreased Pain
Improved Range of Motion and Flexibility
Improved Strength and Aerobic Endurance
Improved Walking Skills
Improved Confidence and Mental Status
What the Patient will Need:
- Swimsuit
- Aqua Shoes
- Towel
- A robe to wear from the locker room (optional)
