Experience the Benefits of Water Therapy in Garfield Ridge

What makes our water therapy so effective? Aquatic therapy provides individuals of varying activity levels with an opportunity to exercise and recover in a low-impact way. When you run, jump, and move underwater, your body does not face the same gravitational force as it does on land. That means it is better for your joints and generally causes less pain, especially when you are recovering from an injury. It can also:

• Relieve pain: Our pool can be heated to 90° Fahrenheit, providing the inflammation- and tension-reducing benefits of water.
• Promote faster healing: Similarly, water naturally stimulates healing within the body. When you put in the work, your body can heal faster without the added pain and pressure of completing land-based exercises.
• Increase strength and flexibility: The gentle nature of Aquatic Therapy promotes stability and reduces body stiffness, allowing you to stretch more and build a higher level of endurance.
• Improve cardiovascular health: Though it may feel less intensive, water-based exercise is just as effective as land-based training in building cardiovascular endurance and maintaining good heart health.
