Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic Therapy at Preferred Physical Therapy utilizes the therapeutic properties of water to facilitate pain reduction, improve range of motion, and enhance recovery. This specialized form of therapy is ideal for patients experiencing difficulty with traditional land-based exercises. By leveraging the buoyancy of water, it significantly reduces joint stress and supports early mobility during rehabilitation. The warm water temperature aids in muscle relaxation and increases blood circulation, while the hydrostatic pressure helps in reducing swelling and improving sensory feedback. Aquatic therapy is beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including post-operative recovery, chronic pain, and neurological issues, providing a gentle yet effective pathway to restore function and improve overall well-being.
