Aquatherapy! Essentially it is physical therapy (by a licensed professional) , but in this case- you are in a pool.
Water is everywhere! Consider: we are 70% water.
Aquatherapy is fun, safe, easy on the joints, great for heart and lungs- I could go on and on... 😊
Let's dive right in (pun intended!)
🏊🏽♂️🏊🏽♀️🌊1/ It helps to promote balance, stability and thus reduces the risk of frailty, falls and fractured bones
🏊🏽♂️🏊🏽♀️🌊2/It's usually held in groups, so it is also a social scene! Connect with friends! Make new friends!
🏊🏽♂️🏊🏽♀️🌊3/ Being weightless because of the buoyancy of water enables you to exercise and therefore SAFE on the joints
🏊🏽♂️🏊🏽♀️🌊4/ It is definitely great for mood and lessening anxiety since exercise releases the "mood booster hormones" such as endorphins
🏊🏽♂️🏊🏽♀️🌊 5/ It is great for swelling and improved circulation to your legs- you feel lighter and stronger. Who can say no to that?
One day at a time; You got this! 👍🏽✨️😃💯
What's your biggest challenge and how did you overcome?
From my heart to yours 💓
