JUNE 2024
What is Saltwater Pool Therapy?
Chronic pain can be a relentless challenge, affecting every aspect of life. For many, traditional physical therapy may not always provide the relief needed. Saltwater pool therapy offers a unique solution, using buoyant saltwater to ease joint stress and enhance exercise effectiveness. This approach is particularly beneficial for those with chronic pain.
Nura is proud to be one of the few pain clinics in Minnesota offering this specialized therapy, providing a valuable resource for those seeking innovative pain management options.
Benefits of Saltwater Pool Therapy for Chronic Pain
- Reduced Joint Stress: Saltwater’s buoyancy supports the body, reducing the strain on joints and muscles. This is especially helpful for those with arthritis,, or other conditions that cause joint pain. The reduced impact allows individuals to perform movements that might be too painful on land.
- Enhanced Mobility: The resistance of the saltwater helps to improve strength and flexibility. As individuals move through the water, they engage their muscles in a low-impact environment, increasing mobility and reducing stiffness.
- Pain Relief: Warm saltwater has soothing properties that can help alleviate muscle tension and pain. Combining warmth and buoyancy can promote relaxation and reduce pain levels, making it easier to engage in physical activity.
- Improved Balance and Coordination: The resistance of the water forces the body to work harder to maintain balance and coordination. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with balance issues due to chronic pain.
