Benefits of aquatic therapy
Pool exercises put less stress on your joints than weight-bearing exercises on land. The warmth helps relax muscles, and the buoyancy allows for easier movement during exercise. The pressure of the water around your joints can help reduce swelling, particularly in the joints of the legs and feet.
A supportive, warm-water environment is sometimes the best place to start for people with pain, as it allows them to begin moving and exercising without aggravating their symptoms.
Our location within the Peak Health and Wellness Center on Blue Mountain Road gives Alpine’s physical therapists the opportunity to work with our patients in the Olympic-sized pool. When needed, patients access the pool with a conveniently located patient lift chair. A large and comfortable therapeutic hot pool is also available to help calm sore joints, perform stretches, and do relaxation exercises.
When you are scheduled for the aquatic therapy program, be sure to bring a bathing suit with you to your session. Know that you can opt to wear a t-shirt and shorts while exercising. As an Alpine client, you’ll receive a towel and locker to use during your aquatic therapy sessions.
