Beneficial Properties of Water Therapy:
Buoyancy
Reduces the effects of gravity on the body by up to 90%. This allows post-surgical or post injury patients to rehabilitate with limited impact on joints and muscles, reducing or eliminating pain.
Hydrostatic Pressure
Equalized pressure exerted on the body while submerged in water. It helps to reduce swelling in lower limbs, improves circulation, and stabilizes joints.
Resistance
The resistance on the body is increased and is exerted in all directions. With this, muscles not used in land-based therapy are strengthened. Providing a more rounded affective therapy.
