Aquatic Therapy Overview
Aquatic therapy is an innovative therapeutic technique that is used for muscle strengthening, improving cardiovascular stamina, increasing healing of injured tissues and many other benefits. Because of the low-impact environment, pool therapy is a great option for patients who are unable to exercise outside of water due to physical limitations or other issues. Aquatic therapy allows for ease of movement and increased circulation to help you heal faster, decrease pain or swelling and increase your strength.
Pool therapy uses buoyancy to support your weight and reduce stress on the joints. It also provides a safe environment to help you function at levels not possible on land and without the fear of falling. At Hattiesburg Clinic, our physical therapists provide customized care for patients of all ages. Call one of our physical therapy locations to see if aquatic therapy is right for you.
