According to HHS.gov, cardiac rehabilitation in an aquatic environment can have numerous benefits. In a recent post, we talked about how to use aquatic therapy for cardiac rehabilitation as well as many of the other benefits aquatic therapy provides for patients and clients. As with most therapy programs, the earlier you can get a patient to safely participate, the better off they will be, in both the short and long-term.
Cardiac rehabilitation is not widely used by those that could benefit from it. We want to share some additional information about cardiac rehabilitation in general.
Aquatic therapy is not often considered as a means for cardiac rehab, but it is a safe, relaxing environment for cardiac patients. The benefits of aquatic therapy for cardiac patients are abundant, including decreasing both resting and exercise blood pressure, weight loss, stress reduction, increasing the duration of exercise because of comfort and tolerance and much more. Immersion in water during exercise or rehab helps patients feel more comfortable, particularly at the beginning of a program. It also encourages them to maintain participation safely and confidently until the program has ended. Aquatic therapy is an excellent option for anyone, but particularly those individuals who need to closely manage the strain they put on their bodies in the early stages of rehabilitation.
