Recover from an ACL Injury Quickly with Water Therapy
ACL recovery can take time as there’s a lot of variation in pain levels, leading some to overdo it, and many other structures within the knee can be affected. Your lower joints such as your knees support the bulk of your body weight due to gravity so it’s no surprise that an injury within the knee can throw off your whole balance. By choosing to do physical therapy for ACL tear in the pool, you can reduce the effects of gravity. Water’s buoyancy can support a large percentage of your body weight taking the pressure of your knees. This also allows you to explore a fuller range of movement. This will bring blood and oxygen to your ACL to help recovery and provide pain and swelling relief. It also means you can push your rehab exercises a bit further than you could on land which results in a quicker recovery and improved flexibility. While you’re supported in water, it also acts as resistance when you move through it. This can help strengthen muscles supporting your knee such as the hamstrings. This won’t fix your tear alone but can help make your exercise more effective and means you won’t tire as easily.
How Can Physical Therapy Help ACL Injury?
Being in the water for ACL physical therapy in NJ helps train your coordination. Staying still and upright in water takes work and over time will help improve your balance and posture. Getting your body used to these movements can also help prevent further injuries. Water movement is unpredictable so it can help train your body to react well to unexpected changes such as falls or aggressive tackles.
Water will also keep your heart rate down. This means you can push cardio a bit further in the pool before you wear out. This will help keep your general fitness up allowing you to get straight back to your sport after your ACL has healed, assuming you have your doctor’s permission of course.
