Hydrotherapy Walking (Chest or Waist Depth)

A

✳️ Purpose Increase walking volume without reinforcing asymmetrical boot mechanics while benefiting from hydrostatic pressure for swelling control. ✳️ Dosage 10–20 minutes continuous walking Chest-to-waist depth ✳️ Cues Even stride length Controlled push-through No abrupt propulsion Upright posture ✳️ Why Water? Reduces ground reaction forces Allows more natural ankle motion (within tolerance) Provides circumferential compression → lymphatic support Enables higher volume without cumulative joint stress

B

Hydrotherapy Heel Raise

3 x 10
