Aqua therapy differs from traditional physical therapy primarily in its use of water as the main environment for healing and exercise. While traditional therapy takes place on land, aqua therapy is performed in a warm pool, where water’s natural buoyancy supports the body and reduces the impact on joints and muscles. This makes movement easier and less painful for seniors recovering from injuries or living with chronic conditions like arthritis. The resistance of water also helps build strength and endurance in a low-impact way. Aqua Therapy in New Smyrna Beach offers seniors a unique opportunity to heal and stay active in a soothing coastal setting, guided by trained therapists. The warmth and calm of the water promote relaxation and circulation, providing both physical and emotional benefits that traditional therapy environments can’t always replicate.
