Irrespective of the age ranges, and other constraints, people that are dealing with chronic pain, Musculoskeletal, Neuromuscular, Neurological conditions etc., are subject to intensive therapies. The patient’s anatomical and physiological function is disrupted in severe cases, and performing the exercises on land gets extremely stressful on their body. This gave way to the introduction of Hydrotherapy. It takes place in a temperature controlled pool or other aquatic environment under the supervision of a certified and skilled healthcare professional. Aquatic therapy helps patients with physical ailments in an effortless manner and is instrumental in strengthening brain-muscle connection.

The premise behind water therapy is that water is infused with healing properties. Water provides a unique environment using buoyancy and viscosity to allow both off-weighting of the joints and decrease in pain. People who are injured, disabled or otherwise unable to comfortably or safely perform exercises on land can effortlessly do so in the water. The immersion of the body in water has therapeutic effects owing to the alterations in gravity and density, hydrostatic pressure, viscosity, buoyancy and thermodynamics, thereby promoting physiological change. The turbulent water facilitates weight relief and promotes ease of movement during rehabilitation ensuring safe movement exploration, strengthening, and functional activity training.

Aquatic Physical therapy has been practiced for thousands of years throughout the world and is clinically proven to aid in fatigue, balance, strength, stiffness and pain. Patients who are challenged in mobility, balance, or strength can experience safer and easier movements in the water than they can on land. The physical properties of water and the hydrostatic pressure provide better strength training, movement and facilitate effective balance exercises without risking fatigue.
