Those of you who consider yourselves elderly and are regulars at Hydrotherapy Brisbane often tell us anecdotally of the benefits for you personally of doing aquatic exercise and why you continue to keep attending………..and that is great because so often we are told that the best exercise is the exercise you do (and will continue to do).
But did you know that there are studies that confirm that for some elderly people Aquatic Exercise can decrease depression, anxiety and improve functional independence?
We already know that decreased physical activity can contribute to increased levels of depression and that regular physical land exercise positively alters the symptoms of depression thereby promoting mental health.
As people age many conditions can occur that lead the elderly to decrease their land exercise and also lead to depression. From gentle water exercise designed to assist your musculoskeletal problems through to High Intensity Aquatic Interval Training that respects your back pain or hip or knee surgeries, Aquatic Physiotherapy may be just what you need.
Please consider Aquatic exercise at Hydrotherapy Brisbane as both a tool to improve functional independence (think walking, sit-to-stand, stairs and more) as well as to decrease depression and anxiety. (For links to studies please contact us)
