Easing Your Pain with Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy, or aquatic therapy, offers significant relief for arthritis symptoms through specialized exercises in an indoor pool. Ideal for post-fracture and post-surgical recovery, this rehabilitation method is a boon for those with weakened, painful, or swollen muscles and bones. Hydrotherapy’s semi-weightless environment kickstarts strengthening exercises safely and effectively.
Aquatic Rehabilitation: A gentle yet effective approach for those in physically demanding jobs, especially where back and knee health is concerned. Hydrotherapy provides pain relief and rehabilitation in a buoyant environment, easing the load on weight-bearing joints.
Evidence of Efficacy: Studies show that 12 weeks of bi-weekly hydrotherapy sessions can lead to muscle strengthening, increased joint mobility, improved cardiovascular fitness, pain reduction, enhanced functionality, and a higher likelihood of returning to pre-injury work duties.
Psychological Benefits: Hydrotherapy goes beyond physical healing. The hydrostatic pressure experienced in chest-deep water can calm the nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing anxiety.
