What Can I Expect In Terms of Benefits?

Reduced Pain:

Reduced Gravitation forces protect inflamed joints from compressive forces allowing you to gently increase muscle strength and range of motion.

Improved Mobility:

The properties of water decrease weight bearing forces and improve flexibility and balance.

Faster Results:

Patients can begin their pain relief or rehabilitation program earlier and progress faster to land-based physical therapy.

 

How is Aquatic Therapy Different?

Rather, aquatic therapy is part of an individual treatment plan prescribed by your experienced physical therapist in conjunction with your doctor, with sessions taking place in a heated and professionally serviced therapeutic pool.

"I can do more in the pool than I can on the land. It helps me move better without pain. I can exercise without soreness the next day, and I can move around better."
