What is Pool Therapy ?
Hydrotherapy or pool therapy or aquatic therapy is active rehabilitation exercises completed in water. At Lab Health Physio - Esquimalt, we provide exercise based rehabilitation in a warm water pool inside Esquimalt Recreation Centre. Pool therapy is just like it sounds, rehab in the pool, but not just any pool, Lab Health Physio uses the warmest pool in Greater Victoria! That means less time trying to stay warm and more time completing your exercises. Pool therapy is perfect for those who have trouble with dry land exercises, need gentle pain relief or those who need a hard workout. The warmth and buoyancy of the water provides the perfect environment to take pressure off sore joints and allow your muscles to move freely in a safe environment. Pool exercises allow for less gravitational pressure to be placed on the body. Additionally, the hydrostatic pressure of the pool can help joint swelling and promote more pain free movement.
