My sister has been experiencing joint pains for the past few days. I think that it would be good for her to try hydrotherapy. It’s a piece of additional information that water’s resistance, coupled with water’s buoyancy, patients can strengthen muscle groups with decreased joint stress.

It’s also interesting to learn that this type of therapy can make exercising less painful. Thank you for clarifying here that it is beneficial in terms of decreasing joint edema as well.

You can find the list of Athletico locations that offer aquatic therapy at http://www.athletico.com/aquatictherapy. Unfortunately, none of the pools at these facilities are zero entry.

Through their good work, I am gaining strength and flexibility,slowly, slowly.I have much less pain than when I started and hope that I will one day be pain free….One more surgery and help from Athletico in the rehab process.

Do any of them have zero entry? I have had spinal surgery and resultant lower body paralysis. I’ve been doing therapy for almost two years and now use a walker so getting into a pool could be a problem.

Thank you,

Mickey Rowen

Both times for knee injuries. It would have been nice if they had had an aquatic therapy area. You need to have an aquatic facility in the Southwest suburbs. Doing aquatic therapy at the local chain gym by myself without a therapist to make sure I was doing the excerises properly did not make the experience pleasant. I was always concerned I might be prolonging the injury instead of recovering from it.
Thank you.
