Conditions

  • Stress Disorders, Post-Traumatic

Interventions

OTHER

Water Immersion

Participants will enter the pool, which has a thermoneutral temperature of 33°C (92°F), warm enough to be comfortable, but cool enough to avoid an increase in HR with similar ambient air temperature. A maximum depth of 4 to 4 feet 6 inches allows ample room participants to be immersed to the chest, float vertically and move in the pool. During 45 min of immersion, they will be instructed to stand, walk and move ad lib. Noodles will be available to hang or rest on in a vertical position. Taller participants will remain at the pool's deep end. The timeframe was chosen to approximate our previous immersion intervention length.
