Another diagnose aquatic therapy can help is low back pain, which can be caused by multiple factors like over usage, bad posture, injury, and musculoskeletal problems. Patients with low back pain can range from an elderly person, pregnant woman, mild aged person, teenager, baby, athlete, or a farmer.8 Low back pain can either be chronic, lasting more than three months or acute pain lasting less than three months. Aquatic therapy can help improve low back function, low back pain, and help people with low back to get back to work. In water, your back has less weight, and stress, which, makes it more mobile, which can help you to do intensive back stretching. Back pain can be decreased simply by being able to move, and stretch back more easily

A systematic review by Waller , Lambeck , and Daly, composed of thirty-seven aquatic therapy studies with one thousand and seven participants, and picked seven of those studies and used McGill Pain Questionnaire, Oswestry Disability Index, the number of work days lost from low back pain, and subjective assessment scale for pain to measure the outcomes. The SIGN 50 and PEDro scale assessment forms were used to assess the methodological quality. The results showed that aquatic therapy has a beneficial effect on low back pain, but, is no better than any other intervention.8 This study demonstrated that aquatic therapy can be beneficial for patients with low back pain but are not the only intervention that can help low back …show more content…
Neurological disorders and conditions include multiple sclerosis, Parkinson, cancer, cervical dystonia, hereditary spastic paraparesis, cervical dystonia, poliomyelitis, brain injury, and spinal cord injury. Gait speed and dynamic balance are a problem a lot of people with neurological disorder/conditions suffer with.10 Aquatic therapy is one tool to help these people with gait and dynamic balance. A study was done by Marinho-Buzelli, Bonnyman, and Verrier took hundred sixteen articles that dealt with aquatic therapy and neurological disorders and conditions and picked twenty of those articles. The Black and Downs Scale was used when testing the methodological quality. Three non-randomized studies, two randomized control trials, and three before-and-after studies proved aquatic therapy increases the dynamic balance in participants with neurological disorders. Two before-and-after tests and one randomized controlled trial proved an increase in gait speed after aquatic therapy. The study comes to conclude that aquatic therapy does help increase gait speed, and dynamic balance with people with neurological disorders/conditions.10 There is also research on how aquatic therapy can help improve the quality of life for people with multiple sclerosis. Keep in mind people with multiple sclerosis needs to be kept out of warm and hot environments, so a cold pool would be ideal when treating these
