Aquatics Therapy for
Neurological Conditions

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are becoming something the American healthcare system is more and more aware of. Recovering from a brain or spinal cord injury may be a long and difficult process, and aquatics therapy has been proven to provide a unique medium for neuromuscular reeducation and strengthening. HydroWorx’s warm water therapy provides sensory stimulation of the patient’s entire body, helping reduce pain associated with neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis and muscular dystrophy. Balance, lumbar stabilization, mobility and personal confidence are all boosted with the buoyancy of the water. Patients with neurological injuries or disorders also may need to relearn to walk, and the underwater cameras allow the patient and physical therapist to watch as well as adjust movements in real time. This entire process speeds up the patient’s learning process.

Optimal level of comfort

By localizing the areas of pain, the hydro massage system reduces the patient’s overall discomfort with focused, deep and penetrating bodywork. Utilizing the massage hose, we can adjust the position and strength of the massage for the patient’s optimal level of comfort. With the aquatic therapy the patient accomplishes 60% weightlessness, allowing for the physical therapist to reeducate the patient’s body motor skills. The underwater treadmill facilitates patient’s gait training at any water level with speeds ranging from 0 to 8.5 miles per hour (mph) in 0.2 mph increments. Moreover, with all our experience here at Classic Rehabilitation, Inc. we have compiled this list of some major benefits of aquatics therapy for patients with neurological injuries or disorders:
