Explaining Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy involves exercises and treatments that take place in warm water with a therapist. Dr. Neil Cohen and the staff at Comprehensive Spine and Sports Center create unique exercise and treatment plans for each individual they see. Once a treatment plan is developed, patients perform this type of therapy for physical rehabilitation, relaxation, and other therapeutic benefits.
What Are the Advantages of Aquatic Therapy?
There are a variety of health benefits of aquatic therapy, including:
Flexibility
Thanks to water’s buoyancy, you have more flexibility and an increase in your range of motion. Consequently, allowing you to move your body and feel less pain. Plus, the warm water helps with relaxation.
Muscle Strength
Water resists rapid movements, so weak muscles get stronger because water is more than 500 times more resistant than air.
Less Pain
Immersing yourself in water increases blood flow to sore and aching muscles, decreasing pain. Additionally, you feel less pain due to weight relief because your body weight is supported in the water.
Improved Balance
Water pressure and buoyancy support your body. Therefore, we find many patients experience a decrease in their fear of falling and being injured. This support boosts confidence and allows you to concentrate on your exercise instead of worrying about your balance.
