water-based rehabilitation programs

Water-based rehabilitation programs use the supportive properties of water—like buoyancy, resistance, and warmth—to assist recovery from injury or surgery. Exercising in water reduces pressure on joints and muscles, making movements easier and less painful. This environment helps improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion while minimizing stress on the body. It’s often used for patients with arthritis, after surgery, or with mobility challenges. These programs are tailored to individual needs and can enhance healing, promote confidence in movement, and reduce pain during recovery.
