Backyard therapy in your on ground pool

Aquatic therapy is performed in the water and uses the physical properties of water to assist in patient healing and exercise performance. For example, the buoyancy provided by the water assists in supporting the weight of the patient. This decreases the amount of stress placed on the joints, making it easier and less painful to perform exercises.

The viscosity of water also provides an excellent source of resistance, which allows muscle strengthening without the need of weights. Aquatic therapy also utilizes hydrostatic pressure to decrease swelling and improve joint position awareness.

The water assists in relaxing muscles and vasodilates vessels, increasing blood flow to injured areas. Patients with painful conditions such as muscle spasms, back pain and fibromyalgia typically find this aspect of aquatic therapy especially beneficial.
With an above ground pool you can excercise in the privacy of your own backyard, no driving to the neighborhood pool or local health club. Your backyard pool becomes your physical therapy center.
