Using Water to Get Stronger
Aquatic Therapy - performing exercises in water - is an ideal solution for patients who have difficulty with balance, limited weight bearing ability or weakness.
Water supports the body, reduces joint stress, and provides both resistance and assistance to movement. With aquatic therapy or aquatic rehabilitation, patients can improve mobility, strength, and function quite rapidly during the healing process. Though aquatic therapy is not recommended for people with certain medical conditions, the vast majority of patients can participate.
