Hip pain can come with a variety of problems including stiffness in your hip, weakness of your leg muscles, decreased range of motion in your hip, and difficulty with doing activities like sitting, standing, squatting, walking, and climbing stairs.

It can cause significant pain, which can in turn lead to limitations in activities you can perform and your ability to perform your work. But what causes low back pain, and how can it be treated? In this blog post, we’ll break down common diagnoses and discuss how physical therapy can help treat back pain.

Welcome again to Water Drop Wednesdays! Today's post is how aquatic therapy can help decrease your low back pain. The water is a great tool to help make your rehab more pain-free. The water makes your core muscles work more efficiently to support your back while keeping your spine supported. The water has many unique properties to help you: Buoyancy helps take some of gravity's stress off your spine and allows you to focus on your exercises. Water is more resistant than air, so a simple exercise that is easy to perform on land will be much more effective when performed in the water. The water is warm, comfortable, and buoyant, which means less pain and discomfort on our spine. The water is a safe place to workout. Sometimes chronic low back pain or surgeries can affect our balance on land, but water takes away the fear of losing our balance and falling. Gentle walking or exercising in the water eliminates the risk of falling, can help strengthen your core and back muscles, and can lead to an increased level of confidence on land. If you're dealing with chronic low back pain or post-surgical issues, call us about developing an Aquatic Based Therapy program based on your individual needs and goals.

The pool provides you with a safe and comfortable environment to rehabilitate your ankle. Many times after injuring your ankle, it can be painful to stand and walk.
