Aquatic therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy that we are happy to offer at Precision In Movement. Our physical therapists recognize the positive effect of using water treatments to improve motion and functionality while simultaneously allowing your muscles to relax.
The therapy sessions are carefully orchestrated and usually begin with a warm-up. They are all done in the water and will most likely begin with gentle, low-resistance exercises targeting the lower and upper extremities. This may include short walks and light stretches.
Treatment will then progress to more advanced cardiovascular and core movements including running, squatting, arm swings, and leg swings. You will also have some cool-down methods after your session. There will be a massage hose in several clinics that offers a deep tissue massage-like experience.
This prevents lactic acid from accumulating. Believe it or not, aquatic therapy is a method of relief that has been practiced for hundreds of years by many cultures. For instance, the ancient Romans and Greeks bathed in hot springs for relaxation and to improve circulation.
