Aqua Therapy in Cambridge
At Helios Physiotherapy and Rehab, we believe movement is medicine for life—but for many of our clients who suffer with chronic pain, regaining movement can be especially challenging.
That’s why we offer aqua therapy as part of our comprehensive approach to natural healing solutions.
Why Aqua Therapy?
Buoyancy decreases the weight your bones and joints have to support and dampens the impact of movements, which may allow you to perform exercises in the water that you cannot do on land.
Conditions Helped
Many musculoskeletal conditions may benefit from this type of therapy, including conditions resulting in chronic pain. Other conditions that often respond well to aqua therapy include:
- Osteoarthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Stress fractures
- Fibromyalgia
- Multiple sclerosis
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Gait deviations
- Balance problems
- Low back pain
- Spinal disorders
- Neurological disorders
- Sports injuries
- Orthopedic trauma
Our Approach
Based on your examination, we may recommend aqua therapy as part of your overall care plan. These sessions take place in a local warm-water pool.
Your physiotherapist will be with you for the sessions, teaching and demonstrating the movements so that you are able to perform them correctly and safely. Sessions last 40-45 minutes.
What to Expect
We’ll begin with a thorough examination. If your provider believes aqua therapy can help you, they’ll explain why and answer all of your questions.
For your therapy appointment, come prepared to be in the water. You’ll need to wear or bring a swimsuit to change into, along with a towel.
Insurance often covers this type of therapy. If you are unsure about your coverage, we will gladly help you determine your benefits.
