Aquatic Physical Therapy: Diving into Wellness

Aquatic therapy aids in the recovery or treatment of neurological disorders, spine pain, and musculoskeletal pain. The therapist conducts aquatic therapy sessions in a heated pool, which allows muscles and joints to relax. Being in the water helps alleviate pain but helps to regulate blood flow and increase your heart rate. The hydrostatic pressure in the water increases the heart rate and the range of motion in otherwise stiff or immobile joints. The water resistance helps tone muscles and improves muscle memory, making aquatic therapy an excellent treatment for those unable to exercise outside of the water.
