PRESCRIBING Aquatic Therapy for INJURIES

​

We prescribe HYDROWORX aquatic therapy when individuals are in a great deal of pain and are not able to put full weight on limbs. Aquatic therapy helps patients start rehabilitation much sooner because water provides a non-weight bearing environment. The buoyancy of the water supports the body and reduces body weight by up to 80%. Once you are in the pool, you can start performing non-weight bearing activities sooner than if you were at a traditional physical therapy gym.

​

Aquatic Therapy provides low or no impact resistance, has a positive impact on motion and flexibility, reduces pressure to joints, and can increase the blood flow to injured areas. It is also an effective treatment for osteoarthritis, and reduces muscle and joint pain in middle-aged and older adults with orthopedic limitations and discomfort. It enhances strength and improves flexibility when combined with resistance training.

​

The unique aspects and benefits of Aquatic Therapy include:

• Optimizing non-impact environment for your pain relief

• Variable speed underwater treadmill

• Resistance jets for therapy, rehabilitation, sports performance training, and swimming

• Underwater massage to relieve your muscle spasms

• Underwater cameras & biomechanical monitoring system

​

Aquatic Therapy results include:

• Improved flexibility and core strength

• Decreased inflammation to damaged muscles and nerves

• Speedier recovery process by initiating therapy in a low-impact environment
