Is aqua therapy often successful for back pain and old lumbar injuries?

Yes: Aquatic therapy is an excellent adjunct modality for treatment of various pain disorders. By using the buoyancy of water, there is substantially less pressure on the joints while the muscles can be conditioned at a higher level. It is also a very effective starting treatment in very painful situations before formal land based therapy begins.

Yes: Any type of physical activity is helpful. Aqua-therapy is easier to follow.
