There is no doubt that swimming injury rehab can be good for your body. It helps strengthen muscles and ligaments, improves your cardiovascular fitness, and serves as a safe and effective workout, all while gently supporting your body, particularly injured areas.

What makes swimming injury treatment such a wonderful medium for rehabilitation?

Well, according to our team of swimming injury physiotherapists, buoyancy plays a vital role here.

You see, water helps keep your body afloat, but also provides resistance that will make certain movements more challenging. The buoyancy of the water helps support your body weight, taking the pressure off joints. This makes swimming and other water-based activities good choices for people who have suffered knee injuries, for example. It can be a safe and comfortable exercise for people with back pain and similar issues.

Exercising in water is easier on your body than exercising on land because you have a lesser chance of falling, stumbling, or otherwise putting yourself at risk of injury. For that reason, swimming and other water activities tend to be safe options for most people. Our team offers well-thought-out strength training exercises for swimmers to better help with recovery.
