Aquatic therapy is often recommended for patients recovering from musculoskeletal and neurological conditions.
Aquatic therapy is a form of physical rehabilitation performed in a temperature-controlled therapeutic pool.
This therapy enables patients with limited weight-bearing ability, joint pain, or neurological impairments to exercise more comfortably and safely. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints and muscles, while water resistance helps improve strength and flexibility. Our pool is adjustable in depth and current intensity, accommodating various patient needs and mobility levels.
You typically need a doctor's prescription for aquatic therapy. Wear comfortable swimwear and bring towels. Avoid applying lotions before therapy. Inform your therapist of any medical conditions or concerns prior to starting.
Therapy sessions occur in a small, temperature-controlled pool with water at a soothing 95°F. A physical therapist will guide you through exercises tailored to your condition, using buoyancy and water resistance to improve muscle tone, endurance, flexibility, and cardiovascular function. Equipment and water currents may be adjusted to match your rehabilitation goals.
After each session, you may experience reduced muscle stiffness and improved mobility. Recovery is immediate, with most patients noticing gradual progress over multiple sessions. Follow-up appointments with your care team help monitor your progress and adjust your therapy plan as needed.
