Benefits of Aquatic Therapy

The benefits of aquatic therapy are extensive, including:

Increased Circulation: The water pressure can enhance blood flow to working muscles, facilitating quicker recovery.

Reduced Weight-Bearing Impact: Buoyancy reduces the load on joints, making it easier and less painful to exercise, which is essential for those recovering from an injury or surgery.

Enhanced Strength and Mobility: The resistance provided by water helps in building muscle strength and improving joint mobility.

Pain-Free Movement: The therapeutic temperature promotes relaxation and pain relief, making exercises more comfortable.

We recommend aquatic therapy for various conditions, including recovery after an injury or surgery, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and general cardiovascular conditioning.
