Stretching is the Key to a Happy, Active Life
Take a New Look at Aquatic Therapy
By: Michelle Peterson AT, ATC
By: Taryn Holt PTA
Stretching and flexibility go hand in hand. Your level of flexibility is dependent upon many factors of an individual such as
nutri on, hydra on, gene c make up and physical ac vity level. One way to help to prevent injury is to improve flexibility through
stretching.
Aqua c Therapy has been around since the earliest recorded history. Water has numerous benefits by just entering the
pool. We take the proper es of water and develop a program to help progress your therapy and decrease your pain. As humans
we are mostly water, the human body is slightly less dense than water its self (men averaging a higher density than women). Some
may believe the elderly popula on would be best aqua c therapy the most, however anyone from young to old, athlete to
geriatric pa ent can benefit from Aqua c Therapy.
Stretching before AND aCer any physical ac vity is vitally important. Whether you are liCing weights, par cipa ng in
prac ces/games or shoveling snow from your driveway, you use various muscles to perform the task. OCen mes stretching is
forgoEen because at the me you feel fine but hours aCer ac vity or more commonly the next day you might find yourself in
pain.
Take the me about 10-15 minutes to properly stretch your muscles before ac vity so your muscles are warmed and
ready for ac vity ahead. Then when you are done with your ac vity, take the me to stretch those muscles again. Be sure to hold
each stretch for 20-30 seconds to ensure an appropriate stretch to the targeted muscle.
When we work muscles, we ghten those muscles if those muscles go without stretching they
stay ght and eventually take away from the range of mo on for the ac vity in the future. When the ght
muscles are being used for an ac vity an injury is likely to occur because the muscles cant work at the
level the are being used.

The proper es of water allow us to challenge our pa ents in a different manor than what can be achieved on land. The
pool’s natural proper es of water include: hydrosta c pressure, buoyancy, viscosity, and thermodynamic can be u lized to aide in
your Physical Therapy. If you would like more details on how we use them come see us at the pool for your lesson in the principles
of water and a good workout.
Aqua c Therapy is very beneficial, especially aCer a total joint replacement. However, not just total joint replacement
pa ents can benefit from a pool treatment. For example, athletes are great candidates for the pool. For an athlete, a pool session
can be a lower impact day of therapy. Our pool offers an underwater treadmill to get you back to running without the impact that
land based running puts on your joints. Jumping ac vi es are also done with less impact. Resistance training can be done with jets
or the natural resistance of the water. An aqua c se8ng is great to get your muscles to relax and stretch.
You don’t need to have recently had a total joint replacement or be an athlete to come to the pool we
welcome a variety of pa ents, so talk to your Physical Therapist to see if the Aqua c Therapy could be added to
your Physical Therapy.
