"A mobility in the vertebrae can be achieved which is seldom attainable in land."

A Thesis by Lieb, R. Sports Physiotherapist, "Aquatic Writings"

"Because an individual immersed in water is subjected to external water pressure in a gradient, which within a relatively small depth exceeds venous pressure,

blood is displaced upward through the venous and lymphatic systems, ... into the thighs, into abdominal cavity vessels, and finally into the great vessels of the chest cavity and into the heart."

(Becker, 2009)

"The aquatic environment has broad rehabilitative potential, extending from the treatment of acute injuries through health maintenance in the face of chronic diseases, yet it remains an underused modality."

Becker (2009), Aquatic Therapies: Scientific Foundations and Clinical Rehabilitation Applications, PM R. 2009 Sep;1(9):859-72. doi: 10.1016/j.pmrj.2009.05.017.

Intervetebral discs at aquatic immersion benefits:

1) anterior & posterior ligaments broadened with stretching

2) anti-gravity muscles relax

3) blood supply is optimized.

"The engorged intervertebral discs are responsible, although not exclusively, for approx 2.0 cm lengthening of the spinal column after 1 hour of aquatic treatment."

(Mitari, Mano & Yamazaki, 1982 in Lieb, R.)

stimulates the immune response supported by movement and massage, with chronic inflammation it works anti-inflammatorally and analgesically."
