Sensory Integration
Improves Proprioceptive Input
The properties of water allow for increased proprioceptive input. People have improve gait, strength and joint function, as well as improved body awareness.
Strength
Improves Muscle Strength and Endurance
Viscosity of water provides resistance for strength training. Buoyancy of water reduces gravitational pull and lessens compressive forces overall which allows for functional movement that may not be able to be performed on land.
Flexibility/
Muscle Tone
Improves Muscle Length and Calms Muscle Tone
Warm water facilitates muscle relaxation and increases peripheral circulation; stimulates body awareness, balance, and trunk stability.
