Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic therapy is a therapeutic intervention in which the aquatic environment provides flotation increase in resistance (eg viscosity) and heat. The advantage of flotation is direct: when a person enters the water, there is an immediate reduction in the effect of gravity on the body. The advantage of water viscosity is indirect: when a person moves in the water the resistance is felt. This is known as an accommodation resistance because it matches the strength or effort applied by the patient. Since the resistance of the water equals the force, it applies the likelihood of exacerbating the injury and dramatically reduces it. It has been proposed that water facilitates active movement, stabilizes the trunk, relaxes spastic muscles, improves circulation, strengthens and improves functional activity. Aquatic therapy may be necessary when there is a restriction of movement, function and strength of a joint that has resulted in a specific disease or trauma. The clinical record should be specific as to the degrees of movement lost, as well as the levels of assistance needed. The standard therapy duration treatment should be 3-4 times per week for 2-4 weeks. It is not necessary more than one form of hydrotherapy in the same visit. Other forms of exercises may be necessary in addition to hydrotherapy when the patient can not perform exercises on the ground without first doing the hydrotherapy. In any case, it will not exceed the limits of the policy <a id="
