 Aquatic Therapy Program
Aquatic therapy has many advantages.
It increases mobility, muscle strength, body awareness,
relaxation and cardiovascular endurance, and improves coordination,
balance, and respiration. It also decreases the frequency
of muscle spasms and pain. Aquatic therapy is especially
effective for patients after surgery or injury because it
allows for earlier weight-bearing activities which lead
to less pain and a faster recovery.
Several properties of water are integral
to the effectiveness of aquatic therapy:
- Buoyancy-a person submerged to the neck weights
1/10th of their regular body weight, allowing for increased
mobility and reducing joint stress.
- Hydrostatic pressure-this reduces the swelling of
joints and tissues and is particularly important for
minimizing the pain of chronic joint or muscle conditions
from recent injuries.
- Water surface tension-this creates resistance for
limbs partially submerged, allowing the patient to gradually
strengthen weak muscles.
- Resistance-water increases resistance against movement
by 600-700 times that of air, increasing the potential
for muscle strengthening.
Experienced Staff
Aquatic therapists are physical and occupational
therapists with training in the unique properties of aquatic
therapy.
Individualized Treatment
We provide care for patients with the following
conditions:
- sprains
- pre-operative
- strains
- post operative pain
- contusions
- reflex sympathetic dystrophy
- tendonitis
- proprioceptive deficits
- bursitis
- degenerative diseases
- fractures
- low endurance
- arthritis
Neurological conditions
- Balance problems
- Multiple sclerosis-to aid patients in maintaining
and possibly improving their strength and muscle control
- Post brain attack (stroke)-to help patients regain
basic life skills and lost function
- Prolonged immobilization-to assist patients in relearning
balance and control after a prolonged period of inactivity
or immobilization
Post Surgical Rehabilitation
Post hip fractures-allows patients to work
on building and strengthening techniques in a controlled
weight environment
- Post knee injury/surgery-reduces swelling and is
ideal for working on range of motion exercises
- Post shoulder surgery-provides resistance for building
strength and range of motion
- Post spine surgery-allows patients to build up to
full weight-bearing exercises by providing an environment
where they experience only 10% of their actual body
weight
Fibromyalgia/Arthritis
Exercise program-a controlled environment
helps alleviate the constant, chronic pain associated with
this condition and encourages activity to counter degeneration
caused by inactivity
General Conditioning
Assists patients in regaining strength in
an environment where body weight is minimized as gravity
in countered by the person's buoyancy
