The Many Benefits of Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic therapy offers numerous benefits that make it an excellent choice for physical therapy:

  • Reduced Joint Pressure and Impact: The buoyancy of water supports body weight, significantly reducing stress on joints, and allowing for pain-free movement during aquatic therapy sessions.

  • Enhanced Mobility: Water resistance promotes improved flexibility and range of motion, facilitating exercises focused on locomotion and gait training.

  • Pain Relief: The soothing effect of warm water alleviates muscle and joint discomfort, providing relief from chronic pain conditions such as arthritis.

  • Reduced Swelling and Improved Circulation: The gentle hydrostatic pressure of water, combined with aquatic exercises, enhances circulation and aids in edema control, benefiting individuals with cardiac conditions, POTS, and swollen joints.

  • Improved Strength and Endurance: The natural resistance of water helps in building muscle strength and endurance without the need for weights, making it an effective medium for strength training.

What to Expect in a Pool Therapy Exercise Program

Aquatic therapy sessions are organized:

  •  Typically, the aquatic therapy session starts out with a land-based evaluation to go over your history, assess your strength, balance, and range of motion, and then your PT will create a custom pool program for you.

  • You may begin with low-resistance exercises to target your specific issues. Movements may include walking, stretching, and resistance or balance exercises.

  • Subsequent sessions may be in the pool and/or land. When back in the pool, your PT will progress your exercises so you may perform cardiovascular activities like deep water running, fast walking, or small hops.

  • Strength activities may be performed to target your legs, arms, or core.

  • Balance exercises may also be used to help you reduce falls and balance better without falling.
