Aquatic Therapy at ATS Spartanburg
Aquatic therapy is
unique in that it can reduce the weight-bearing environment in which
patients or clients exercise. Thus, it allows patients to perform
movements in the water with reduced stress on joints and provides
resistance for strengthening, toning and stabilization. These movements
are not always possible to perform on land because of pain/stiffness
and weight-bearing restrictions.
Our
therapists evaluate each patient and use this evaluation to design and
implement a patient-specific aquatic program to address impairments.
Some of these conditions include orthopedic injuries and post-surgical
dysfunctions, joint replacements, back and neck pain, arthritic
conditions, fibromyalgia and neurological impairments.
Aquatic
therapy can increase strength and endurance, increase range of motion,
decrease swelling, improve balance and coordination, improve
circulation. It can also help in the strengthening of the synergistic
muscles around affected joints.
