AQUATIC THERAPY SERVICES

The physical properties of water make it a highly desirable medium for treating pain and musculoskeletal injuries. Some of the most important properties are:

  • Decreases Trauma to Joints: Buoyancy takes the weight off of our joints so people with flexibility problems can move in ways they usually can't on land. Those with limited movement due to arthritis or obesity can get a cardiovascular workout without the risk of jarring joints or falling. Buoyancy can be increased with the use of floats.

  • Builds Strength: Viscosity resists movement by means of friction, allowing strengthening and conditioning of an injury, while reducing the risk of further injury due to loss of balance.

  • Reduces Swelling: The hydrostatic pressure of water reduces swelling and inflammation in joints, making workouts easier and less painful.

Together, these properties allow development of a therapeutic exercise regimen that controls such critical factors as the weight placed on the spine and risk of injury due to unintended movements.

Out-patient Physical Therapy and Aquatic Therapy requires a referral from a physician or health care provider.
