Hydrotherapy (Water Aids)

Pool exercise, otherwise known as hydrotherapy, is an effective form of rehabilitation used by physiotherapists and physical therapists in the treatment of injuries and medical conditions. The exercises take place in a swimming pool, where the buoyancy provided by the water allows non-impact training to take place. A buoyancy belt such as the Classic Aquajogger may be used to aid buoyancy.

One advantage of exercise in water is that muscles are relaxed by the therapeutic heat, which helps to improve joint range of motion. Another advantage of hydrotherapy is that there is no weight transmitted through the body, which makes it an ideal form of exercise for fracture rehabilitation, knee injury rehabilitation and back injury rehabilitation.

Hydrotherapy (Water Aids) – Buyer’s Guide

Hydrotherapy – exercise in a pool – is often recommended by physiotherapists as an effective method of rehabilitation following a wide range of injuries and medical conditions. The buoyancy provided by the water allows strengthening exercises to be undertaken, without any impact affecting the knee joints or injured tendons and ligaments. It also allows you to return to activity when you have an injury that prevents exercise that involves load-bearing or impact. Wearing a buoyancy belt ensures that no weight is transmitted through the body, making hydrotherapy the ideal form of exercise for the rehabilitation of leg fractures, ankle breaks, knee injuries and back conditions.
