Discover the Benefits of Aquatic Therapy

Living with chronic pain can be exhausting. It affects your posture, your movement, your mood, and eventually, even your relationships. But what if there was a place where your joints could stop screaming? A gentle, supportive space where pain relief meets movement? Welcome to the world of Aquatic Therapy.

At Physical Therapy Solutions, we’ve seen firsthand how this approach transforms the lives of our clients.

What Is Aquatic Therapy?

Aquatic Therapy—sometimes called hydrotherapy—involves performing guided exercises in a warm-water pool under the supervision of a qualified physical therapist. It’s a clinically proven method for pain relief, rehabilitation, and restoring mobility, especially for people who may find land-based exercises difficult or painful.

‍

It’s particularly effective for individuals with:

• Arthritis and joint stiffness
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic low back pain
• Neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s)
• Post-surgical recovery
• Orthopedic injuries

Why Water Works: The Science Behind It

Water isn't just soothing—it's therapeutic. The physical properties of water create an ideal healing environment:

‍

1. Buoyancy
   Water supports your body, reducing the weight placed on painful or injured joints. This allows for greater freedom of movement and less impact on bones and muscles.‍
   ‍
2. Warmth
   Our therapy pool is maintained at an ideal temperature (around 91–92°F / 33°C). The warmth promotes muscle relaxation, improves blood circulation, and helps ease stiffness.
3. Hydrostatic Pressure
   The gentle pressure of water helps to reduce swelling and support circulation, particularly around inflamed joints or post-operative areas.

‍

Together, these properties make aquatic therapy a powerful tool to reduce pain, build strength, and restore function—even when land-based movement is too uncomfortable.

Is Aquatic Therapy Right for You?

If you’ve been living with persistent pain or are struggling to recover from injury or surgery, aquatic therapy may be the missing piece in your recovery plan. It’s especially beneficial for older adults, people with balance issues, or anyone whose pain limits traditional movement.
