Weight bearing status is often provided post injury for both upper and lower extremity injuries. But it can sometimes be unclear! Remember to ask your MD questions to clarify before leaving the office. Here are some general terms used to indicate weight bearing status and what they mean. Enjoy✨

How can aquatic therapy work for you?
💧🏊🏼‍♀️💦🏊🏽‍♀️💧

Buoyancy – Being submerged in water reduces the pressure of gravity and therefore it is easier and less painful to move our joints
🦵🏿🦵🏽🦵🏻

Hydrostatic pressure – The pressure of water creates a hemodynamic shift from an area with greater pressure to an area of lesser pressure causing an increase in blood flow, which can reduce edema and soft tissue/joint swelling
💧🫀💧

Strength- Water causes resistance that is much greater than air allowing your body to strengthen when in motion under water
💪🏿💪🏽💪🏻

Reduction of abnormal tone- manual techniques like oscillation performed in the water can significantly reduce and help to manage tone or spasticity in people suffering from these conditions
