Feeling helpless, painful, lonely, anxious, depressed
and even angry at times? Does your pain
have you down? Most people with chronic
pain struggle physically, emotionally, and mentally because pain wakes them up
in the morning and puts them to bed at night.
Day-to-day movement becomes a chore, pain continues to progress, and
muscles continue to get weaker. Have you
tried every therapy out there and not had the results you’re searching to
find? Aquatic therapy might be an option
for you!
One
of the best ways to decrease pain is to move, but the barrier is moving on
“land” is painful. What is the missing
link? The pool! The pool offers a buoyancy assisted
environment that allows people to do exercises without the joint compression and
body weight they are used to in normal day-to-day life. The pool also offers 3D resistance so every
movement made in the pool counts. The
combination of water resistance and buoyancy reduces the overall stress on the
body allowing low impact exercise and strengthening to occur with less
pain. Movement and exercise will also
help mentally to help release endorphins that can positively effect your
mood. The pool will leave you feeling
empowered, motivated, with less pain pain, and closer to your goals
If
you feel aquatic therapy is a potential option for you, talk to your health
care provider and contact me at Agape Therapy.
Life
is too short to spend it in pain. Give
aquatic therapy a try!
