Pool Therapy Treatments

Water is the ideal medium for exercise or rehabilitation. When standing in shoulder depth water body weight is reduced by 90%. Water decreases musculoskeletal stress and impact on the joints. Warm water is also relaxing thereby allowing individuals to move with greater mobility and less pain. By using freestanding underwater exercise equipment in a pool, users gain the general benefits of exercise without suffering from the compression and impact forces that occur with gravity on dry land.

Consider this: A 1995 Temple University study showed that working out in water can provide a highly effective aerobic workout as effective as vigorous exercise on dry land without endangering the joints.
