Aquatic Physical Therapy
Our Aquatic physical therapy combines a treadmill in a private therapeutic pool. The combination of traditional treadmill training with the natural properties of water (buoyancy, resistance, and heat) offers great benefits. Our aquatic system allows for adjustable water depths for controlled weight-bearing exercises with less impact and stress on joints, which is especially helpful if you are recovering from surgery. Aquatic therapy helps reduce swelling and inflammation in joints. The buoyancy gives you the confidence and balance in each and every step. The low-impact, high-resistance workout is good for athletes requiring rehabilitation through sports injury physical therapy as well as for those wanting to increase performance and endurance.
