Aquatic physical therapy increases range of motion and strength while reducing weight-bearing and joint stress. Utilizing 92-94 degree water temperature to increase circulation while reducing pain and muscle spasm, aquatic physical therapy allows early mobility, thus promoting more rapid recovery. Our therapy pools consist of therapeutic jets as well as underwater treadmills.

Some common medical diagnoses that benefit from aquatic physical therapy are pre/post joint replacement, spinal stenosis, fibromyalgia, and lumbar sprain/strain. If you feel aquatic physical therapy could help with your medical condition, contact us to discuss your options.
