How Does Hydrotherapy Help Veterans Recover?

All warriors, especially the tactical athletes of the Special Operations community, are looking for tools during their rehabilitation process that will help return them to active duty. HydroWorx military rehabilitation pools have aided in the recovery of these brave men and women by offering advantages that land-based exercises do not, including:

Less Pain

Injured veterans experience less pain when they engage in hydrotherapy, as the water’s buoyancy reduces pressure on the injury site. Our HydroWorx pools have resistance therapy jets for deep tissue massages, providing additional pain relief.

More Safety Than Land-Based Exercises

There are many risks associated with land-based exercises, such as falling and placing too much weight on the injury. Hydrotherapy offers a low-weight-bearing environment for injured veterans. The water’s buoyancy also improves their balance, reducing the risk of further injury from falling.

Faster Healing

Water has unique properties that encourage faster healing. Water’s hydrostatic pressure improves blood circulation, decreasing inflammation and muscle soreness.

Increased Range of Motion

Our veteran hydrotherapy pools allow patients to use muscles they can’t use on land due to pain or loss of balance. Aquatic rehabilitation increases a patient’s range of motion in their muscles and joints, making them stronger with each session. Hydrotherapy also conditions their muscles and maintains their fitness levels as they recover.

Better Results for Post-Op Recovery

Since hydrotherapy poses less of a risk than land-based physiotherapy, injured veterans can start their rehabilitation program soon after surgery. They don’t have to wait for surgical wounds to heal before engaging in hydrotherapy. Once the wound stops draining, patients can waterproof the surgical site and start their program.

For proof of these results and incredible patient satisfaction, watch over 100 video case studies created by clinicians like you in our video library.
