Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic Therapy is physical therapy conducted in the water. We use the properties of water, traditional physical therapy and specific aquatic techniques to provide a comprehensive approach to those seeking to increase strength, decrease pain and improve function. This environment offers clients additional versatility to their rehabilitation program.  Aquatic Therapy provides special accommodations that land-based therapies fail to achieve for specific situations, such as decreased weight-bearing on arthritic joints.

Therapy is held in a 4-9 foot deep pool and is heated between 84-90 degrees.  Benefits of Aquatic Therapy include a reduced weight bearing and stress on joints, muscular relaxation, increased circulation and reduced swelling.

Aquatic Therapy is beneficial for:

• Intolerance to traditional therapy
• Arthritic conditions
• Back or neck pain
• Repetative/strain injuries
• Post-surgical rehab
• Weight bearing limitations
• Fibromyalgia
• Myofascial pain

During your session, you can expect a one-on-one, customized program based on your specific needs and agreed upon goals. We evaluate your needs in our clinic site with follow up appointments in the pool. We also offer aftercare options to have success on your own with the program.

We are committed to your success and teach you to follow through with a home program.  Contact our staff today to set up an appointment!
