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.
