water immersion

Water immersion involves submerging the body in water, which provides supportive buoyancy and modifies the effects of gravity. This environment can assist in exercises, therapy, or relaxation by reducing joint stress, easing pain, and improving circulation. The temperature of the water can also influence muscle relaxation and cardiovascular responses. Water immersion is used in medical and fitness settings to enhance mobility, aid recovery, and promote overall well-being, offering a safe and effective means of physical support and therapeutic benefit.
