Aquatic Therapy Program
Aquatic therapy is a specialized form of physical and/or occupational therapy. For some, this pool based therapy makes exercising easier than on land while for others a combination of pool and land is best. Our specially trained therapists treat on an inpatient and outpatient basis for those with neurological diagnoses, such as brain injury, spinal cord injury, stroke, neuromuscular diseases, as well as amputation, orthopedic conditions, including joint pain and post-surgical debility or general debility.
Benefits of Aquatic Therapy
How We Treat
Our Aquatic Rehabilitation Center features two accessible pools, a therapy pool at 92o F and fitness and recreation pool at 84o F to meet all of your needs. Aquatic therapy is beneficial in reducing pain, relaxing muscles, and increasing circulation. It provides a safe environment to progress exercises, and improve balance and walking. An individualized exercise plan is developed in collaboration with you and our staff and you will be taught to continue the skills learned on your own.
We train you and your family/caregivers in your individual exercise program so you can continue on your own.
