Struggling with Pain or Restricted Mobility? Try Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy is an approach to physical therapy that utilizes the natural properties of water to help patients recover from injury and improve strength and mobility without putting excess pressure on the joints. Aquatic therapy at Atlas Physical Therapy at our Mandarin location in Jacksonville, FL provides a safe and supportive environment for healing and rehabilitation, no matter your needs.
What Is Aquatic Therapy?
Aquatic therapy involves performing therapeutic exercises in a heated pool. The water’s buoyancy reduces the strain on joints and muscles, making it easier to move with less pain. The water’s natural resistance also helps build strength and improve overall stability.
Aquatic therapy is not the same as swimming. Exercises generally occur in waist- or hip-deep water and typically mimic movements you perform on land. We might also use specialized equipment like water weights or kickboards.
Who Can Benefit From Aquatic Therapy?
Aquatic therapy is ideal for anyone looking for a gentle yet effective approach to managing long-term conditions or recovering from an injury, such as the following:
- Arthritis and joint pain
- Post-surgical recovery
- Chronic pain or fibromyalgia
- Neurological conditions like stroke recovery
- Sports injuries or balance issues
