NEW to FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers at Southwest Georgia Rehab in Early 2021! Our community speaks and we listen! We are so excited to announce the addition of aquatic therapy services in Spring 2021! Our community deserves the very best, and that is exactly what we are committed to providing. Our state-of-the-art Therapy Pool will provide a new atmosphere and opportunity for physical rehabilitation. Aquatic Therapy is the best method of therapy for when weight-bearing exercise is painful or harmful. We are so excited about the number of patients this will benefit! Aquatic Therapy Will Get You Moving Again. Do you find yourself not as active as you used to be? As we age, we lose muscle and bone mass, leading to the development of problems such as back pain, arthritis or osteoporosis. This makes it harder to do normal everyday activities like squatting down, getting out of bed, walking, and more. Regular exercise and physical therapy slow the loss of muscle mass, strengthens bones and reduces joint or muscle pain. In addition, physical therapy improves mobility and balance, which reduces the risk of falling as you age or suffering a serious injury. Physical activity is important and can help you live independently for as long as possible. However, if you have chronic aches and pains, it can be difficult to exercise. This lack of physical activity can make the condition even worse. This is where aquatic therapy can really help you. Aquatic therapy offers a very safe environment in order for you to get your body moving again. The temperature of the water helps to reduce inflammation and pain, relieves aches, and provides benefits to many of your other organs as well. What Are The Benefits Of Aquatic Therapy? Aside from alleviating pain and speeding recovery, aquatic therapy has a number of other benefits, as well, including: • Begin Recovery Sooner: Aquatic therapy allows patients to begin therapy sooner than land-based therapy allows because of support on weight-bearing joints. • Less Joint Stress: Aquatic therapy allows for walking, running, and various movement activities without full weight-bearing. • Maximize Movement: The resistance of the water allows patients to maximize each and every movement in a nearly pain-free environment. This also gives patients a great aerobic workout. • Hydrostatic Pressure: The hydrostatic pressure of the water allows for decreasing edema in the extremities. • Relaxation: Aquatic therapy decreases muscle tension and allows for a better relaxation response. And so much more! NEW TO FYZICAL AQUATIC THERAPY! ALSO NEW IN 2021: Pilates Physical Therapy, Enhanced Industrial Rehab & Work Ergonomics, & Private & Group Rock City Boxing Classes.
