Aquatic physical therapy is a specialized rehabilitation program that uses the therapeutic properties of water to help you recover, rebuild strength, and move without pain. Led by licensed physical therapists in a warm-water pool, this treatment offers an ideal environment for healing when traditional land-based exercises are too difficult or painful.
who we are
Buoyancy in shoulder-deep water reduces your body weight by up to 90%, taking the pressure off sore joints and allowing a much greater range of motion.
Water provides gentle, 360-degree resistance that helps you safely build muscle strength and flexibility during early recovery.
Warm pool water stimulates blood flow (vasodilation), rushing oxygen and essential nutrients to injured tissues while clearing away waste.
The soothing warmth relaxes tense muscles, soothes spasms, and helps minimize localized swelling.
Post-surgery rehabilitation for joint replacements, ACL reconstructions, or rotator cuff repairs.
Gentle relief for osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia.
Safe conditioning for lower back pain, neurological conditions, or severe balance limitations.
Individualized, medically prescribed, and delivered by a licensed therapist to target specific rehabilitation goals. Covered by most medical insurance providers.
General group conditioning designed to maintain overall mobility and fitness after formal therapy discharge. Does not require a doctor's order and is non-reimbursable.
Our indoor aquatic program serves as a powerful adjunct to traditional physical therapy. Utilizing the pool allows for early movement, which research shows significantly accelerates the overall recovery process.
who we are
Relieves up to 90% of body weight in shoulder-deep water, reducing joint impact and enabling early, pain-free movement.
Mild pressure helps reduce localized swelling (edema) and enhances joint stability to prevent falls.
Dynamically adjusts based on movement velocity, offering safe, multi-directional muscle strengthening from early rehab to advanced conditioning.
Warm therapeutic water (87–92°F) promotes circulation, relieves pain, and relaxes muscle spasms.
Decreases pain, muscle spasms, and peripheral swelling
Increases joint flexibility, range of motion, and strength
Improves cardiovascular endurance, balance, coordination, and posture
Boosts patient morale and psychological confidence through early, successful movement
