Why is water used in rehab training?
Question:
Answers:
Water therapy is great because it's gentle on your joints and is resistant to your movement. You may think you're having easy exercise time until you get out of the water. I would recommend it for just about anyone over 5 years old. With a good physical therapist,it's a real workout without sweating or aching joints.

It helps to clean out the system
Greater resistance than air, makes muscles work harder.
Buoyancy also helps support the person working out.
Force of gravity decreases in water so you have less resistance when exercising. The elderly exercise in water for this very reason! help take some of the weight off of limb(s). (i think)
to clean the body system.
why not?
in water there is resistance but because of the weightless feeling you get in water (like walking on teh moon kinda) it is easier and has less pain involved but it works alot better because it actually works your muscles and joints harder. Water is used becausthe work out is hard but not stressful on your joints like it would be when you are running on the pavement. Also, your body is a lot lighter so it is easier to move and easier on the therapist to assist.
Resistance is greater giving you a better workout. and water makes you bouyant and therefore less affected by gravity. not likely to fall on your rear and break something.
