Benefits of Hydrotherapy

Aquatic Therapy or Hydrotherapy, involves the use of warm water to build muscle, help reduce pain and promote flexibility. The multitude of benefits of aquatic therapy surround the temperature of the water, the physics of the water and the buoyancy effect. These include:

• Increased blood flow: Warm water helps increase blood circulation, relax muscles and reduce tension, ultimately lessening pain

• Reduces inflammation through improved circulation

• Support your weight: This de-loads your joints, ensuring you aren’t in pain while exercising

• Resistance and Drag: As you move through it, water acts as resistance to build muscle strength
