Sports injury rehabilitation is based on several different things. The key is to return the body to normal function. Depending on the type of injury, there can be lots of different areas of dysfunction. The most common of these are mobility restrictions, strength deficits, and balance deficits.

The body is made up of hundreds of joints. Each joint has normal range of motions, as well as muscles that move the joint. If there are restrictions in the mobility of the joint, or in the efficiency of the muscles, dysfunction occurs.

Aquatic Therapy is a great way to rest and rehab your overused muscles or injuries while continuing to workout at an intense level. Some people prefer to supplement their land-based exercises with workouts in a pool since exercising in water reduces the stress on joints and muscles that happens with land-based exercises.

The buoyancy of water allows you to continue running on the underwater treadmill or do exercises against the resistance jets. This enables you to maintain your fitness level even when your muscles are fatigued or injured.

After a hard workout, treat yourself to a deep penetrating massage to decrease lactic acid build-up in overworked muscles. This is a great feature for overall pain management.
Benefits of Aquatic Therapy for Overuse or Athletic Injuries:

• Increased mobility and strength 
• Maintain fitness levels 
• Decrease swelling 
• Pain relief 
• Removes weight from joints and bones

Testimonials

• Ken Griffey, Jr. Gets Back in the Game

With a partially torn patella tendon from an April 7th game, Ken Griffey, Jr. of the Cincinnati Reds needed an effective therapy program. His athletic trainers suggested he use the Cincinnati Bengals' HydroWorx® pool to help speed his rehabilitation. The Bengals were happy to help out a neighboring athlete as Griffey was in need of extensive therapy that would prove successful as he tried to avoid season-ending surgery. Only three days after beginning therapy, he had full range of motion and his trainer claimed he would not need surgery!

The Bengals were already aware of the pool's usefulness. "We have used the HydroWorx® treadmill and the Thermal™ and Polar™ pools and the indications and applications are virtually limitless. The HydroWorx pools are without a doubt the most versatile pieces of equipment that we have in our training room at Paul Brown Stadium," says Paul Sparling, Med, ATC for the Bengals. The pool gave Ken Griffey, Jr. the chance to begin exercises much sooner and Griffey returned to play less than two months later on May 24, without undergoing surgery.

• Duce Staley Gets Back in the Game

 
Watch Duce Staley's Recovery video

When Philadelphia Eagles' Running Back Duce Staley injured his right foot, he was told that many players don't return from his kind of an injury; a Lisfranc fracture
Following foot surgery and recovery, Staley was put immediately into the HydroWorx pool™. , having him practice drills on the treadmill daily until he was running at full speed
Staley was obviously pleased with the results of his therapy in the pool. "Once I got used to the pool, I didn't want to leave it," Staley commented.
Head Athletic Trainer for the Eagles, Rick Burkholder, gave credit to the HydroWorx pool for Staley's recovery saying, "Without the Variable Water Depth , without the treadmill , and certainly without the Underwater Camera System for him to get immediate feedback, I don't believe this player would have played in the 11 months that he did."
