Is hydrotherapy right for me?
The benefits of hydrotherapy include:
- Reduced stress on joints when exercising.
- Warmth of water (34 degrees) helps muscles relax.
- Water provides natural resistance for building strength.
- Safe environment for those worried about or at risk of falls.
Some conditions may prevent you from doing hydrotherapy. For example:
- Open wounds
- Infections – such as urinary, skin, eye, and ear
- Incontinence
- Dizziness and fainting
Always consult your doctor when deciding to start an exercise program.
