Hydrotherapy, or aquatic therapy, utilises the properties of water for therapeutic and rehabilitation purposes. This treatment is particularly advantageous for patients who struggle with weight-bearing exercises due to injury, surgery, or chronic conditions.
Benefits of Hydrotherapy
The buoyancy of water alleviates the impact on joints, making it easier for patients to perform movements without pain. This is especially beneficial for those with arthritis, joint injuries, or post-surgery recovery.
Water’s support enables individuals to move more freely, improving their range of motion. The resistance provided by the water also aids in strengthening muscles, which can lead to improved mobility over time.
Warm water therapy can help relax tight muscles and alleviate pain. The soothing properties of warm water promote circulation and can expedite healing processes.
