Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy offers an alternative environment for therapeutic exercise. Aquatic therapy is impact-free and patients with orthopedic and arthritic conditions can stretch and strengthen in a soothing environment. There are three unique features of Aquatic therapy that make it ideal if you have a restricted weight-bearing status after surgery:
- Buoyancy – water decreases the gravity placed on weak limbs unable to bear much weight and makes it easier for a patient to move with less stress on joints, muscles, and bones.
- Water pressure helps blood circulation in the legs and can reduce swelling in the patients’ ankles and feet.
- Resistance – water provides a full body workout to strengthen every working muscle.
Muscle tone, weight reduction, and sensory awareness all improve with Aquatic therapy.
