Aquatic Therapy At Marketplace Physical Therapy Chino

CHINO, Calif. - April 26, 2013 - PRLog -- When most people think of Physical Therapy, they think about exercises performed on equipment. However, many people with serious injuries are not able to perform routine exercises in a gym setting. For these people aquatic therapy is a great option. Aquatic therapy is used to mobilize joints, increase range of motion, develop balance and stability for people who are unable to tolerate land based therapy. Water therapy can help you minimize the inevitable loss of fitness that comes from being sidelined.  Pool therapy uses the resistance of water instead of weights. The forces on weight-bearing joints are reduced taking excess pressure off joints for better results.  The warm pool water can reduce pain by relaxing tight or spasm muscles by increasing blood flow. Pool therapy can make exercise easier and less painful. The water resistance will help patients strengthen muscles and improve cardiovascular performance. People who have difficulty with traditional therapy often show improvement with aquatic therapy. The goal is to transition patients quickly from aqua therapy to a land rehabilitation program within 3 to 12 sessions.
