Aquatic Therapy
If a patient’s progress on land is slow or unsuccessful, aquatic therapy on various parts of your body can offer many positive results. Not only does the warm water of a pool help relax muscles and increase blood flow to painful areas, the buoyancy of the water helps patients with mobility issues to move more comfortably. Water also offers resistance for exercising to build strength with less pain and is a perfect environment for no-impact aerobic activity.
Aquatic Therapy has proven successful in treating people with arthritis, injuries to the neck, shoulder, low back, knee or ankle, chronic pain, muscle spasms, Fibromyalgia, and bone fractures.
