Benefits of Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic therapy provides an array of health benefits, including stimulating healing and strengthening of injured tissue, increasing cardiovascular endurance, increasing muscle strength, tone, and endurance, decreasing pain, inflammation, and joint stiffness, increasing range of motion and flexibility, and promoting joint stability. Aquatic therapy also stimulates the release of endorphins that help to control pain,alleviate tensionandenhance your mood.

Water also offers special qualities that make rehabilitation less painful by initiating movement in a low-impact environment while still replicating the proper biomechanics of land-based movement.

If you or a loved one has an injury or condition that makes weight-bearing exercise too painful or risky, such as arthritis, stroke, or recent surgery on the knee, hip, back, or neck, then aquatic therapy is an ideal way to get moving again and begin the rehabilitation process.
