Aquatic Therapy uses properties of water to provide a unique rehabilitation environment. Buoyancy decreases the compression force placed on weight bearing structures, allowing joints to perform motions and exercises the they would otherwise be unable to perform. Hydrostatic Pressure facilitates venus return and aids in the elimination and control of edema (swelling). Viscosity provides constant resistance improves strength and proprioception (balance). Warmth stimulates circulation and aids in pain control. These uniques qualities combined with a trained therapist, makes water a safe and effective environment to treat a variety of rehabilitative problems.
