Revitalizing Recovery Through Hydrotherapy
Physical therapy is vital to recovery. It accelerates healing following accidents or surgeries and fosters overall well-being. Hydrotherapy is an effective option among the scope of physical treatments due to its capacity to mitigate the risk of re-injury, permitting clients to transition into recovery more easily.
Consistency is vital to experiencing the benefits of hydrotherapy pools. We have a few advanced HydroWorx pools, which allow people to perform different exercises underwater due to their features: movable floor, underwater treadmill, resistance jet technology, and computer camera systems for precise tracking of progress and performance.
Health benefits of hydrotherapy for seniors
1. Easing Pain and Swelling:
Hydrotherapy masterfully reduces pain and swelling by strategically applying water buoyancy and resistance to support and engage joints and muscles. Our HydroWorx pool has cutting-edge features, including adjustable water temperature and jet propulsion to optimize the therapeutic dimensions of aquatic therapy.
The heated hydrotherapy pool fosters enhanced blood circulation and decreased inflammation. Additionally, warm water extends the relaxation of muscles and alleviates tension, culminating in reduced pain levels. This is key for those navigating post-surgery recovery, chronic pain management, or injury recuperation.
2. Amplifying Range of Motion:
Hydrotherapy is an alternative that allows our senior residents to move their bodies gently. Engaging in physical therapy within a pool stimulates joint mobility, improving range of motion and well-being without the impact caused by land exercises.
Water resistance also helps with coordination and balance, offering invaluable benefits to older adults with chronic conditions. The warm water in our hydrotherapy pool provides additional muscle relaxation, enhancing flexibility and mobility.
3. Enhancing Cardiovascular Fitness:
Older adults who don’t feel good doing regular aerobic exercises on land can try hydrotherapy instead. When they’re in water up to their chest, their body weight is reduced by 80%, which makes them float more and move more freely. Because of this, they can exercise more intensely in the water than on land.
Our HydroWorx pool features an integrated treadmill, empowering seniors to engage in aerobic activities like walking and running while submerged.
4. Alleviating Chronic Pain:
Chronic pain, which can last long and greatly affect daily life, includes conditions like back pain, neck pain, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. Using a hydrotherapy treadmill is a powerful way to reduce this kind of pain. It helps improve walking for lower body issues and relieves upper body pain by soothing muscles and nerves in the water.
We are focused on older adults’ well-being. For this reason, we aim to improve their quality of life and overall health by providing hydrotherapy services that they can use whenever needed. Our trained wellness team is always ready to guide our residents and their families to ensure their experience is personalized and effective.
