Benefits of Hydrotherapy
Engaging in hydrotherapy under the guidance of a Determined2 AEP can provide numerous benefits:
Less pain, easier movement
Warm water and buoyancy take pressure off the joints, allowing people to move in a supportive environment that reduces pain
Better flexibility & mobility
The water supports gentle stretching and helps improve range of motion.
Stronger muscles
Water provides safe resistance to build strength and endurance without overloading the body.
Improved balance & stability
Develop balance, stability and confidence by practicing movement without the risk of falling.
Reduced swelling & better circulation
Water pressure and warmth help reduce swelling and improve blood flow..
Relaxation & stress reduction
The soothing warm water helps ease muscle tension and promote a sense of wellbeing.
Sensory regulation
The warmth, pressure, and gentle movement of water can help calm the nervous system and support sensory regulation.
An accessible way to exercise
If traditional exercise is overwhelming or difficult, hydrotherapy can be a more accessible, enjoyable way to get moving.
