What is Active Aquatic Therapy?
Aquatic therapy is the safest form of rehab, especially for weight-bearing injuries, because it takes place in the buoyancy of water and thereby removes impact and trauma from weight-bearing joints. In pool therapy, the water offers buoyant support for the body, resistance to bodily movement, a natural reduction in pain, and a relaxing and refreshing feel. The aquatic therapy program offers a three-prong approach to solving rehabilitation challenges: • We provide specific rehab exercises designed to help heal the injury. • We include a safe, progressive total body fitness program that helps guide the entire body toward fitness even as the injury heals. • We offer guidance in the correction of faulty biomechanics that may have contributed to the injury.
