Aqua Therapy: A Complete Guide to Rehabilitation after Stroke, Improve Pain, Mobility and Balance Using Aquatic Therapy

By Dr. Deborah Edward

Aquatherapy involves utilizing the unique properties of water for health purposes, aiding in the process of rehabilitation and recovery. Water possesses advantageous qualities such as density, buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and resistance, which facilitate movement. When submerged in water, the body experiences a significant reduction in weight. Aquatherapy harnesses the buoyancy and density of water to conduct movement training sessions with reduced pressure on the body, enabling patients to move their limbs freely and easily without subjecting their joints to additional force. This form of therapy is highly beneficial for individuals with various conditions that limit body movement, including but not limited to Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (a progressive nervous system disorder resulting in loss of muscle control), osteoarthritis, and spinal conditions.
