The Standard for Excellence in One-on-One, Hands-on Care

Aquatic Physical Therapy is the practice of physical therapy by a trained and licensed physical therapist or physical therapist assistant within the environment of a water-filled pool.  The buoyancy, support, and accommodating resistance of water enhance the exercise and create a safe environment for progressive rehabilitation.  The temperature of water (warm or cold) prompts muscle relaxation, facilitates stretching and generally reduces the sensation of pain.

Treatment sessions conducted by a trained and licensed physical therapist or physical therapist assistant are designed to: improve circulation, strength and endurance, balance and coordination; increase range of motion; decrease tissue swelling; normalize muscle tone; protect joints during exercise and reduce stress.

Aquatic Physical Therapy is used for the treatment of:

• Neck pain
• Neurological disorders
• Shoulder pain
• Low back pain
• Knee/ankle pain
