Description
Summary:Aquatic therapy can be applied in the rehabilitation of all sort of cases with musculoskeletal system dysfunctions and for reducing level of anxiety and stress is because the water at the right temperature and movements that are done in the water, has a relaxing effect. Also, the horizontal position of the body in water has a multiple effect because it changes the blood circulation from vertical to horizontal, relieves weight off the spine contributing to pain relief, reduce fatigue, improves trunk endurance, balance, sleep quality and reduce anxiety and depression. The purpose of the review was to assess if there are studies about the effectiveness of the Ai Chi method in aquatic recovery programs for people with different conditions and/or for achieving a better state of relaxation. A systematic review of articles in the Science Direct browser from 1994 with keywords “Ai Chi, rehabilitation, relaxation” was used in the article.
