The effects of HydroTherapy.



Hydrotherapy has lasting effects on the body. Movement underwater has the ability to improve balance, coordination, and motor skills. It can also improve muscular endurance and strength as well as decrease pain. Aquatic therapy has been proven to lessen arthritic pain, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, post surgery injuries, and many other health conditions. It also has proven results for stroke, arthritis, neuropathy and spinal cord injuries.


Resistance and Strength is increased because you are working agaist the variable water resistance. This resistance contributes increased weight bearing ability as well as increased muscular strength and tone.


Bouyancy diminishes the effect of gravity. When your body is immersed shoulder deep in water you are 90% weightless. You are 80% weight less at chest level, 50% weightless at waist level, and 20% at knee level. And rehab without joint stress with increases flexibility.



Hydrostatic Pressure

exerts 15 pounds of pressure on all areas of a submerged body. It also places pressure on the chest walls to simulate chest expansion and deeper ventilation, thus attributing to increased cardio respiratory activity. This Pressure also causes a decrease in edema in lower extremities due to the centralization of blood volume. The treatment in water is efficient because edema is addressed the entire length of treatment.

Sensory Stimulation

in water increased kinesthetic awareness of body. It promots relaxation and opens the body to a better rehabilitation.
