How Aquatic Therapy May Improve Symptoms
We understand that when you have pain and difficulty with movement, exercise seems impossible. We’ve seen firsthand though how using water therapy can help everyone build up their fitness levels, even if they’ve been unable to exercise for a while. Building good habits can help improve or delay certain Parkinson’s symptoms and our trainers are skilled at gradually adding in exercises and making changes to ensure you improve at a good pace and they’ll be in the pool with you in case you need help. This means you can exercise with the confidence that you won’t get into trouble in the water.
One of the main ways being in water can help Parkinson’s symptoms is that it safely tests your balance. Staying upright in the pool takes work and your body will keep making small adjustments, probably without you even noticing. This helps build core muscles that can improve your coordination outside the pool. If you do happen to slip in the water, you won’t fall so you can test your balance and improve it without the fear of injury as you’d have on land. Water also provides resistance which can help build strength when just moving through it so even gentle exercises can help improve your posture and overall stability with stronger muscles.
Another reason to consider water for Parkinson disease physical therapy in NJ is the potential pain relief. Water supports your body weight which can provide relief for sore muscles as they’re not fighting with gravity when in the pool. This also allows you to try a wider range of movement which boosts circulation. Better circulation has been shown to improve pain in most people. The warmth of the water can also help with pain relief as it relaxes the stiff muscles Parkinson’s is known for.
Water therapy also releases endorphins which provide some natural pain and stress relief.
Why You Should Consider Physical Therapy for Parkinson’s with APT
With APT you’re benefiting from a company who’ve used their water exercise routines themselves. Our founder had a joint replacement after repeated sporting injuries and developed exercises to help himself in the pool. He saw pain relief and improved movement quickly and began taking clients into the pool and saw it worked for them too.
We now use specialized equipment such as underwater treadmills to make sure everyone gets the most out of their time. If you’d like more information or to get started, email us at aptperform@gmail.com or use our ‘Register Now’ button to book a callback with our friendly team.
