What Is Aquatic Therapy and How It Helps
Aquatic therapy—also called hydrotherapy or water physiotherapy—is a form of exercise performed in a temperature-controlled pool under the guidance of a physiotherapist. The water’s natural buoyancy supports your body weight, reducing pressure on joints and muscles. That means you can move freely, even if walking or exercising on land is painful.
At Rebirth Physio, our certified physiotherapists use aquatic therapy to help patients recover from injuries, surgeries, neurological conditions, and chronic pain. It’s one of the most effective recovery tools for people across Gujarat, especially those looking for gentle yet powerful rehabilitation.
Why Exercising in Water Speeds Up Recovery
1. Less Pressure on Joints and Muscles
Water reduces body weight by up to 90%. That means less impact on joints, ligaments, and bones—perfect for patients recovering from fractures, arthritis, or knee replacements.
2. Natural Resistance for Strength
Unlike gym machines, water provides gentle, uniform resistance in every direction. This helps rebuild strength evenly while protecting healing tissues.
3. Improves Balance and Coordination
Water constantly challenges your balance, which trains stabilizer muscles without the risk of falling. This is especially helpful for stroke or spinal injury patients.
4. Boosts Blood Flow and Healing
Warm water improves circulation, delivering oxygen and nutrients faster to healing tissues. It also reduces swelling and muscle spasms.
5. Safe for All Ages
From athletes and post-operative patients to elderly individuals with joint stiffness, aquatic therapy is adaptable and safe for all fitness levels.
