Water therapy, when combined with massage therapy, allows practitioners to work the soft tissues more effectively than massage on dry land alone. Massage benefits can include decreased heart rate, decreased blood pressure, calming the nervous system and of course relaxing muscles. Swimming provides the client a safe environment to exercise and build muscle, and can have a positive impact on flexibility and joint mobility.
