Aquatic Therapy : A Therapy

Hydrotherapy is therapy using water. This can be hot, cold warm or even ice. The temperature of the water effects the therapeutic properties of the treatment, for example, hot or warm water is more relaxing, stimulating the immune system and reducing stress. Cold water is used to treat burns and smooth muscle pains and soreness. Steam is used along with herbs and oils to sooth respiratory problems and treat mild illness (colds). Movements in open water (swimming pools) are used to treat issues such as arthritis and is used in rehabilitation.

His physician prescribes a daily routine of swimming as part of a long-term rehabilitation process.

I learned that swimming is both good for the body and the mind. Water is 600 to 700 times denser than air so it improves muscular strength. Adapted aquatics can also improve flexibility because the reduction in gravity allows a greater range of motion and the uniform pressure gives the body greater support. Adapted aquatics is also good for mental and emotional health of those with special needs. While swimming the volunteers give praise and strike up friendly conversation that give opportunity for success. I also learned that adapted aquatics activities should be changed to fit the individual's needs and

Physical therapy- exercise, including walking, swimming, range of motion, and stretching help maintain strength, mobility (especially in the joints), and overall health.

Throughout history there has always been a debate on whether or not fibromyalgia is a valid health concern. Finally with today’s technology and medical research it can finally be diagnosed.Even though doctors are unable to pinpoint the root cause of these symptoms, we now know it is a valid and widespread medical condition. Fibromyalgia used to be called “muscular rheumatism.” Which is a neurobiological disorder that affects many in their daily lives. The main description of this diagnosis is chronic widespread pain, that can also disturb one's psychological state of mind. Fibromyalgia was not

Aquatic therapy is a great option to do an exercise program in which there will be less strain on the joints. The warmer water temperature can loosen up stiff joints, muscles, promote relaxation and offer pain relief. Active and passive range of motion can be worked on in this environment. Many kids love the pool and this can be a fun treatment session for pediatrics where play can be front and center (Becker,

Therapeutic recreation has been a long-time and frequently used form of healing for many people, including individuals who are elderly, disabled, or have a form of mental illness (Carter & Van Andel, 2011). It was only a short time ago, in the twentieth century, that therapeutic recreation was recognized as a crucial component in health care (Carter & Van Andel, 2011). Therapeutic recreation has a variety of benefits that vary for many age groups. There is outdoor therapeutic recreation for young children who have down syndrome, an example would be swimming, as this is quite beneficial not only to the young age group, but to the older age group as well. These benefits include physical skills, cognitive skills, behavioural issues, and many more. This essay will discuss these specific particularly within the elderly age group.

I swam butterfly in this picture which is a very physically demanding stroke. Swimming would definitely help Flora because depending on the stroke you can choose the intensity of the activity. It is also an activity where social interaction is not as common. Another benefit for flora is that it is already a hobby of hers so it would be easier to incorporate physical activity into an activity that she likes doing. I enjoyed swimming very much because it is not only a good way to make friends but is also a great way to exercise. I am very likely to participate in this activity again because I do swimming 4 times a week every week. There are many health benefits from this activity, it is one of the few activities that uses all muscle groups during the exercise. furthermore for those who have joint problems it does not put extra weight put on your

Ms. A. Delli Carpini will be taking the aquatic and physical therapy at Jackson Clinics in Ashburn, Va, the duration of her therapy would be 90+ days, between December 1, 2017 to June 15, 2018.

Possible risks associated with this study include exhaustion or tiredness and forced breathing during and after aquarobic treatment.

Balneo therapy: This therapy is also known as the heated pool treatment and helps in improving pain and muscle and nerve functioning. Family physicians can also recommend various exercise routines along with this therapy.

Chronic low back pain is known as the most disabling and therapeutically challenging pain disorders, mostly prevalent in older adults. If untreated, chronic low back pain could potentially affect patients in terms of pain, activity limitations, participation restrictions, influence on career, use of sanitary resources, and financial burdens (Castagnoli 1t al.2015). The management of chronic low back pain encompasses a wide range of interventions including surgery, drug therapy, and non-medical interventions. A non-pharmacological intervention, also known as a physiotherapy treatment, is believed to be central in the management of chronic low back pain (Hurkmans et al. 2011). Physiotherapy interventions involve the use of different procedures such as general exercise, physical modalities, massage or manual therapy, McKenzie therapy, bathing therapy and education (Hurkmans et al. 2011). However, the question remains concerning which one of the proposed interventions would be more appropriate for treatment of chronic low back pain and therefore produce the most

Swimming is an activity that demands much physical and mental attention from the partaker. Every time I go to Hearst Memorial Gym to swim laps, a flurry of activity occurs within my physical existence. A schedule as full as mine, after all, is stressful and exhausting. Once I enter the pool, though, most of my academic and social anxieties evaporate. While I may feel relaxed, many biological responses occur in my body's muscular, nervous, and cardiovascular systems to accommodate my act of swimming. This is not to say these are the only organ systems involved in the act of swimming. Rather, I believe they are the most interesting in the context of biological psychology.

However there are many precaution should be taken when doing swimming for amputee upper limb. Some of the precaution should be taken by the therapist when doing this activity; swimming is the therapist need to make sure whether the all surgical wounds are healed completely and safe to do aquatic activity (Grosse, 2010). It is for the client that acquired amputee. Acquired amputee is the individual who loses their after birth maybe because of surgical removal because of disease such as cancer or lack of circulation that causes diabetes (Grosse, 2010). The therapist also need to make sure that the client does not have phantom limb pain before do the swimming activity. Other than that, the therapist also need to make if the client needed a

Aquatic therapy is a therapy that is done on water instead of land. Aquatic therapy can include water weights, exercises in the water, and water aerobics. Some programs will combine both land and water exercises, and other just water exercises. Aquatic therapy takes the weight off people so people are not bearing all their body weight like they are on land. Aquatic therapy can be used for many different types of illness, diseases, syndromes, disorders, pain, and musculoskeletal problems. Especially, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, low back pain. Aquatic therapy continues to be improving and is becoming more popular. It can also help normal/healthy humans live a healthier life. So I’m going to be discussing the different types of illness, diseases, syndromes, disorders, pain, and musculoskeletal problems and explain if aquatic therapy help manage their symptoms, or cures them.
