The temperature of water in aqua therapy pools is maintained at a thermoneutral (34.5-35.5°C) which is a temperature that will not affect your core body temperature. It promotes vasodilation of peripheral blood vessels and improves circulation as a result reduces pain and muscle spasm.
It is prohibited to treat any patient in a pool water temperature more than 35.5°C. This is due to the considerable effects temperature has on the cardiovascular system. At thermoneutral (34.5-35.5°C) a person’s core temperature is not affected but as it raises to 37°C the core temperature rises and blood pressure drops, even without exercise cardiac output increases to 80% and heart rate to 105bpm.
Exercise bikes, walkers, pool exercise kits, aquatic stepper, treadmill etc. are equipments that aid in water therapy exercises.
