At Sentry Physical Therapy, we offer specialized Aquatic Therapy designed to enhance rehabilitation through the unique properties of water. Aquatic therapy provides a safe, low-impact environment that supports your body, making it easier to move and exercise without putting strain on your joints or muscles. This therapeutic approach is ideal for patients recovering from injury, surgery, or managing chronic conditions.
What is Aquatic Therapy?
Aquatic therapy involves performing therapeutic exercises and movements in a warm-water pool under the guidance of a licensed therapist. The buoyancy, resistance, and hydrostatic pressure of water create an optimal setting for rehabilitation, helping patients improve mobility, strength, and function while minimizing pain and discomfort.
Conditions We Treat with Aquatic Therapy:
Arthritis and joint pain
Post-surgical recovery (e.g., joint replacements, orthopedic surgeries)
Chronic pain and fibromyalgia
Neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s)
Balance disorders and coordination issues
Back and spine conditions
Sports injuries
Weight-bearing restrictions
Mobility impairments due to age or injury
Post-injury rehabilitation
Benefits of Aquatic Therapy:
Reduced Impact: The buoyancy of water decreases the weight placed on joints and muscles, allowing for easier and more comfortable movement, especially for those with weight-bearing restrictions.
Increased Mobility: Water allows for greater range of motion and flexibility without the strain of gravity, making it ideal for patients with limited mobility.
Pain Relief: The warmth of the water helps relax muscles and alleviate pain, while the hydrostatic pressure reduces swelling and promotes circulation.
Enhanced Strength and Endurance: Water provides natural resistance, which strengthens muscles and improves endurance with low risk of injury.
Improved Balance and Coordination: The water’s gentle resistance helps patients work on balance and coordination without the fear of falling or injury.
Whole-Body Rehabilitation: Aquatic therapy allows for a full-body workout, improving overall fitness, cardiovascular health, and muscle tone.
