Shoulder pain can make simple activities like lifting your arm, reaching overhead, dressing, or combing your hair difficult. It may be caused by stiffness, muscle weakness, injury, arthritis, or conditions such as frozen shoulder and rotator cuff problems.
Aquatherapy can make shoulder exercises more comfortable because the water supports the body and provides gentle resistance. Warm water may also help relax tight muscles and reduce stiffness, making it easier to move the shoulder. During treatment, exercises may include gentle shoulder movements, stretching, strengthening, posture exercises, and controlled movements against the resistance of water. The exercises are gradually progressed as your movement and strength improve.
At Physionautics, we first assess your shoulder movement, pain, strength, and functional limitations before planning the aquatic rehabilitation program. The exercises are selected according to your condition and recovery level.
