Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic Therapy, or hydrotherapy, is offered at Revere Health to support rehabilitation for patients. This therapy utilizes the buoyancy of water, allowing for low-impact exercises that reduce stress on joints, making it ideal for recovery from injuries or surgeries.
Benefits of Aquatic Therapy
Reduced Impact: Water’s buoyancy minimizes compressive forces, making movement easier and less painful.
Decreased Swelling: Hydrostatic pressure helps reduce joint and soft-tissue swelling, aiding in recovery.
Strength and Flexibility: Aquatic therapy enhances muscle strength and range of motion, using water resistance for safe conditioning.
Personalized Care: Each patient receives a tailored treatment plan from specialized aquatic physical therapists.
Who Can Benefit?
Aquatic therapy is suitable for:
Post-surgical recovery (e.g., hip or knee replacements)
Arthritis and joint pain
Spinal dysfunction
Fibromyalgia
Extremity injuries
What to Expect
Sessions occur in specialized therapy pools, supervised by licensed therapists. Patients do not need swimming skills, ensuring safety throughout the process.
Conclusion
Revere Health’s Aquatic Therapy provides a gentle and effective alternative to traditional therapy, helping patients regain mobility and strength while minimizing discomfort.
