For many people living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy or a related neuromuscular condition, hydrotherapy can be essential in maintaining the best quality of life for the longest time possible. Hydrotherapy is a therapy that involves the use of water for pain relief and treatment. It is different from swimming as it involves performing special exercises in a warm-water pool, and also very different from water aerobics as it focuses on controlled movements and muscle relaxation. Hydrotherapy can be a highly effective form of therapeutic exercise for people with muscle-wasting conditions. Studies suggest that when patients with muscular dystrophy or related neuromuscular conditions receive physiotherapy in association with hydrotherapy, measurable improvement in the quality of daily living may be obtained.
