Did you know water can necessitate some forces as needed by the land-based exercise? Well, the water’s buoyancy itself imparts the forces to give the body some exercise! Isn’t it surprising to know? That’s why your eyes are still on the blog!
Not all of us like to stress on the body but the natural presence of water-based exercise can relieve some ease of the pain, injuries, or disorders. Of course, this therapy was deduced to enhance balance, function, flexibility, and body mechanics that includes postures as well!
Let’s move our attention to the benefits of the therapy. Indeed physical therapists simply didn’t include this in their practice, it is obvious that it has some benefits.
As we age it’s common to have problems of imbalance or gait problems but that doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed. The less gravitational force in the water allows the body to help the practice of gait and balance therapy and reduces the scenario of damage of any sort while taking care of the sensitivity of the pain.
We tend to fall by an imbalance and there is no resistance. But the water can offer resistance to the training essentially while offering muscle relaxation and good blood circulation due to the warm water.
Like mindfulness, body awareness is needed too. When we swim the body experiences itself to be lighter than heavy which’s due to the upward force acting on the body. And therefore it is evident that the joints feel less pressurized. What can be more relaxing after a trauma? Nothing can change the impacts of water, not even air!
Water is the best mode for strengthening the muscles while feeling the movements of the body. And do you have poor body posture? Water will correct you constantly!
But yeah if you are infectious or have diseases of the skin then this can be a wrong idea to take therapy in the waters!
Well, water can have great impacts on the body with varying temperatures. Warm water has its own effects than the cold.
In the end, a few lines…
Water not only gives enough space for relaxation but a space for healing and eases pain without stressing you more. Like every other aspect of physical therapy focuses on wellness, pain relief, fitness, and stress relief, aquatic therapy does so too! You have no obligation of knowing swimming to be a part of this therapy as it is only chest level deep. If dance therapy isn’t a way out and physical exercises are painful then shift your way to this! If this is what you opt for, then visit us at Moon Physical Therapy and let us heal you!
