The Benefits of Aquatic Rehab
Aquatic rehab, at our Waterworks location in Carlsbad, is one of the most comfortable exercise experiences you will every have. Aquatic therapy takes advantage of:
- Buoyancy - it eases the stress on your muscles and joints.
- Temperature - the warm water soothes and relaxes your body.
- Viscosity - the "thickness" of the water provides gentle resistance.
- Turbulence - moving water gently challenges you to maintain your balance and control
- Hydrostatic Pressure - this pressure provides natural relief of joint swelling.
