Of course, with much of our aquatic therapy, you’ll be doing more than just getting into the water. This therapy also takes advantage of the aquatic element, for swimming, aerobics, and other forms of physical activity.

For many, it can be challenging to perform aerobic exercises on land. Running or even jogging can take a real toll on joints, knees, feet, and more. In water, however, much of that is eliminated. Studies have shown that swimming can actually alleviate the effects of many forms of chronic pain. After all, when you’re in the water, you don’t have to support yourself. Your body doesn’t have to support you, which makes things so much easier on it.

In the end, aquatic therapy opens up physical activity to more people. If you’re not used to physical fitness or are just starting out, this is a great way to discover all of the health benefits that come from exercise.

One of the biggest benefits is reducing your anxiety. It’s natural to be anxious when you’re in rehab, dealing with all of the fallout from having lived a life of addiction. However, after exerting yourself in a pool, working up a sweat while having a great time, your anxiety will decrease. You’ll feel great and just as importantly, calmer.
