About Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy involves performing exercises and specific physiotherapy techniques in water to help relieve pain, reduce tension, strengthen muscles, improve circulation, and enhance overall function. Your aquatic therapy program will be tailored to your individual needs to maximize these benefits and ensure comfort in the water.
Aquatic therapy can be particularly beneficial for patients recovering from surgery, stroke, or spinal cord injuries. It may also help others who need support in improving movement, balance, and confidence. Key benefits include:
- Re-education and facilitation of normal movement patterns
- Ability to stand and exercise in water for those unable to bear weight on land
- Support from the buoyancy of water, reducing joint stress
- Improvement of walking technique
- Enhanced balance and coordination
- Increased independence and functional ability
- Boosted self-confidence
- Reduced fear of falling
