WHAT IS AQUA THERAPY?
Aqua Therapy is warm water rehabilitation
which focuses on the prevention and treatment of injury or disease
through physical means. Water can play an important role in injury
rehabilitation. There is no pounding of the body in the water;
all of the movements are cushioned by the water. The advantage
is that following an injury or surgery, water exercises can begin
sooner than traditional physical therapy, thereby cutting down
recovery time.
Exercise in general helps to speed
healing, and the best place to exercise is in a therapeutic warm
water pool, to prevent or minimize the secondary damage that occurs
after an injury. This damage includes stiffening, swelling and
loss of muscle mass.
Our physiotherapist will work
as your partner in the pool. Even if you are unable to walk or
stand on land, you will still be able to exercise in the water,
either at neck level or in deep water with a floatation device.
Our Physiotherapist has a detailed
understanding of how the body works, and is specially educated
to assess, improve movement and function.
We currently have 1 physiotherapists
at Club Physio Plus that specializes in Aqua Therapy.
