Water Resist
About: WATER THERAPY & LIPOEDEMA Water therapy or hydrotherapy is a natural therapy involving water movement that can benefit people with lipoedema by reducing swelling, improving mobility, and alleviating pain. Water therapy is preferred over many other types of exercise as the water’s unique buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and resistance properties make mobility and exercise sessions more manageable and more efficient. Water has a unique property, Hydrostatic pressure, that provides a gentle pressure or massage on the body. This pressure can be beneficial for individuals with Lipoedema, as it can help to reduce swelling and improve circulation and aids compression. AQUA CYCLING & HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE In early versions of hydrostatic pressure therapy, the practitioner uses their hands or a handheld device to apply gentle pressure to the affected areas. At the same time, they floated in water with stretches, helping to move fluids out of the tissues and into circulation. However, we now have fantastic equipment like an AquaBike that allows us to work deeper in the water (more compression), legs at the bottom of the pool for the duration of the session, engaging more hydrostatic pressure. The cycling movement in water creates a gentle massage on the legs that delivers effective and fast swelling relief. The pressure level can also be increased with the speed of the cycling motion. GET STARTED If you live on the Sunshine Coast, water cycling classes are a lot of fun and will support you on your journey. If you live elsewhere, Water Resist also offer a range of Aqua bikes to suit your needs and enable you to aqua cycle at home or a pool near you.
