Back Pain Aquatherapy

Back pain aquatherapy is as equally exercise based as it would be if you were working with a physical therapist, with the main difference that your exercises are all carried out in water.

The relevance of this is that when you are submerged in water, you become weightless, and it is therefore far easier to exercise without putting strain on your back and body or applying pressure to your muscles. Consequently, back pain aquatherapy is a superb environment in which to work painful back muscles in order to loosen them and strengthen them in anon-impact environment.

If you were recovering from a back injury and needed gentle traction (stretching), then you might find yourself hanging by the arms, being supported by a float with small weights attached to your legs.
