Aqua Care for Me creates individually specialized Aquatic Therapy and Fitness Programs for people of all ages using the properties of water to achieve therapeutic results.  Exercising in the water provides several benefits that exercise on land can not:

• Water limits joint impact and enhances joint stability
• Isokinetic resistance of water helps tone muscles and improve abdominal/core strength
• Excellent for aerobic and muscular conditioning after injury or before/after pregnancy
• Faster progress with less pain and increased stamina
• Hydrostatic pressure decreases edema and swelling
• Improves circulation, balance, and proprioceptive training
• Targets separate muscle groups and adds unique variety to land-based exercise regimens

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS:

• INJURY PREVENTION: Water exercise is easier on the joints than other forms of aerobic exercise; participants are less prone to injuries caused from high impact.
• INJURY RECOVERY: Because of the reduced stress on the body, physicians often prescribe moderate water exercise as the first step in recovery.
• ARTHRITIS: Warm water reduces arthritis symptoms, including increased mobility, reduced joint pain and decreased inflammation.
• FAT BURNING: It is estimated that between 400-700 calories can be burned per hour of aquatic aerobic exercise.
• STRENGTH TRAINING: Water provides 12 times the natural resistance of air, therefore you are always building muscle strength when you work out in the water.
• CROSS TRAINING: Optimizes an exercise regimen. Substituting water exercise for regular exercise can help jump start the body back on the road to peak condition.

COMMONLY TREATED CONDITIONS:

• Back problems (Herniated Disc, Stenosis, Spinal Sprain/Strain, Degenerative Arthritis S/P Spinal Fusion or   Laminectomy)
