How does the water therapy contribute to the body’s balance and wellbeing?
A – The water has the power and natural ability to increase circulatory efficiency, to promote increases in respiratory function, eliminate compression on joints and massage the whole body. This combined effect together with being immersed in warm water frees the body from tension and stiffness; leaving the body in a state of peacefulness and balance. 7. Q – How can water exercise improve my chosen sport e.g. golf A – The water’s natural resistance to movement provides an ideal environment to create a balance in muscular strength and flexibility which ultimately helps prevent musculoskeletal injuries. The water is equally resistant, no matter where you are in the water or what movement you make. The greater the effort in the water, the greater the resistance. This, together with the effects of buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure result in increases joint motion, circulation and respiratory efficiency which all contribute to improving your sports performance.
