Aquatic Therapy

The Benefits of Aquatic Therapy

Improve Patient Function with Aquatic Therapy

Our Aquatic Center is open and in use!

We are excited about the unweighting benefits of aquatic therapy and how it’s warmth can help improve patient function. Our 16×60 foot heated pool is at a comfortable 95-96 degrees and will be available year-round. We currently have 3 CAPTCC certified therapists through the APTA and highly trained technicians available for treatment in the pool.

Benefits of Aquatic Therapy Include:

  • Warm water facilitates muscle relaxation and increases peripheral circulation
  • Viscosity of water provides resistance for strengthening and endurance
  • Warm water stimulates body awareness, balance, and trunk stability
  • Buoyancy helps decrease pain and sensitivity
  • Decreased gravitational pull allows for increased WB activities such as Gait training and balance
