Aquatic Exercise

water exercise classesAquatic Exercise / Private Therapy Sessions

Exercise in warm water is therapeutic for your body and can accelerate your progress toward healing an injury, improving mobility, or increasing strength and flexibility. The water reduces inflammation and decreases pressure on joints while increasing blood circulation, allowing injured areas to recover sooner, and the resistance and warm temperature relax your muscles, reducing spasticity and pain. Simply being in the water allows you to activate muscles and move your body in ways not possible on land.
