Benefits of aquatic therapy
Some of the benefits of aquatic therapy include:
-
The warm water helps reduce rigidity, stiffness, and pain.
-
The water’s buoyancy and support can help people to stretch and exercise if they have balance and posture issues that increase the risk of falling on land.
-
Movements require less effort in the water, which helps conserve energy.
-
The turbulence of the water can challenge balance and coordination to improve walking.
-
Emotionally, aquatic therapy can help build confidence, contribute to greater independence, and offer socialization.
-
Ideal for people with arthritis, back injuries, fractures, or anyone with weight-bearing issues.
