Chronic Pain and How Aquatic Therapy Can Help

Chronic pain is persistent and constant pain that lasts over a period of weeks to months without relief. About 1.5 billion people worldwide suffer from this debilitating disease. Most of these people go to sleep and wake up every day to crippling pain that continuously affects their day-to-day activities such as sitting, standing and walking.

This makes Aquatic Therapy the best solution for chronic pain.

Aquatic Therapy can increase flexibility and range of motion without putting stress on the joints and spine. Relaxation is a major key in dealing with chronic pain. Warm water helps relieve tension in your muscles while creating a comfortable environment to decrease pain level. Hydrostatic pressure and buoyancy forces counteract the effect of gravity, changing what stimuli are being sent to the brain and providing pain relief.
