Aquatic Therapy

Men & woman in pool

Imagine yourself in a beautiful pool. The water is warm and soothing, and you feel your muscles relax as you float weightlessly. This is the experience of many people who have tried aquatic therapy, also known as water therapy. Aquatic therapy is utilized by many athletes and non-athletes around the globe to enhance their performance and treat injuries. When it comes to treatments for injuries, aquatic therapy is one of the best to be offered. H2 Health offers you the benefits of professionally guided aquatic therapy at many locations across the US.

HOW DOES AQUATIC THERAPY WORK?

Aquatic therapy is a type of physical therapy that takes place in a pool or other body of water. It can be used to help people recover from injuries, ease chronic pain, and improve balance and coordination. The benefits of aquatic therapy are due to the unique properties of water. Water is buoyant, which means it supports the body and takes pressure off your joints.

The resistance of water also helps to build muscle strength. This is one the main uses of aquatic therapy. You may have witnessed your favorite athlete running on treadmill immersed in water. The water provides added resistance to the muscles and trains them for endurance and strength.

Another interesting feat of aquatic therapy is the water temperature. Cold and warm temperatures of water have different healing properties. Cold water is great for reducing inflammation and swelling caused by injuries. It also helps your muscles recover.

On the other hand, the warmth of water can help to relax muscles and improve circulation. Warm water also helps relax the brain and decrease stress and anxiety. As a result, aquatic therapy can be an effective treatment for a wide range of conditions.

Lastly, aquatic therapy is a great option for patients who have a greater risk of falls or those who cannot support their body weight safely after a surgery or injury. If you are worried about potential falls, aquatic therapy is a great alternative to traditional care.

BENEFITS OF AQUATIC THERAPY

Aquatic therapy is a natural and holistic way of treating various physical injuries and weaknesses. It comes with many benefits and has been shown to:

  • Promote muscular relaxation
  • Reduce pain sensitivity
  • Decrease muscle spasms
  • Increase ease of joint movement
  • Increase strength and endurance
  • Improve body awareness
  • Improve balance and core strength

Aquatic therapy is a great way of treating many conditions in one of the easiest and most convenient ways possible. With no risk of injury and added relaxation from water, our clinicians will help you gain muscle strength, reduce injuries, and live better every day. At H2 Health, we also offer wellness pool programs as a great alternative to traditional exercises! Call us today at (800) 699-9395 or visit your nearest located H2 Health clinic. You may also request an online appointment for a personalized consultation.
