The WaterWell® Benefits: Chronic Pain
Bookmark This Page | Send To A Friend
An estimated 86 million American adults suffer from chronic pain. Chronic pain is longstanding pain. It persists beyond the usual recovery period following an injury or surgery, or occurs along with a chronic health condition such as arthritis. Chronic pain may be intermittent or continuous. It may affect people to the point that they cannot work, eat properly, participate in physical activity, or enjoy life. Because it is often difficult to locate the source of the pain, living with chronic pain often means dealing with extra stress and frustration.
How does WaterWell’s unique in-home aquatic therapy benefit someone with Chronic Pain? Though exercise has been proven to help reduce pain and promote healing, it’s difficult if not impossible to exercise if you’re in a constant state of discomfort and pain. Thanks to the WaterWell, however, even those in chronic pain can begin to exercise. The natural buoyancy of the water – in chest deep water, an individual bears only 20% of their total body weight – dramatically reduces the constant tension and pressure on the body and virtually eliminates stress on joints and muscles. Aquatic therapy in warm water increases flexibility, decreases pain, relieves muscle spasms and improves circulation.
With a WaterWell, chronic pain sufferers can experience the many benefits of aquatic therapy:
- Relaxation
- Increased Joint Movement
- Pain Relief
- Enhanced Mobility
- Improved Flexibility, Mobility and Strength
