Water is the perfect environment for those who may not be ready for land-based program.  Aquatic Physical Therapy can be initiated earlier with greater comfort following injury or surgery. In the pool, patients feel only 20% of the compression on their joints that they would on land.Patients are able to move with significantly less pain in the water and are able to strengthen, improve their balance and increase postural awareness in a pain free environment. Patients are able to return safely back to daily activities in a shorter period of time with aquatic therapy than with other types of therapy.

Water is the best of all things. – Pindar, Olympian Odes

Our Physical therapists get in the water with patients.  We are big believers in aquatic therapy and our staff spends the entire day in the swimming pool with you.  Our manual therapy techniques are performed in the water as well. The aquatic setting gives patients a comfortable environment to receive their manual therapy.  Patients receive individualized physical therapy programs based on their diagnosis.  We have specialized exercise protocols developed for specific conditions, injuries and post-op surgery.  Our aquatic therapy program is appropriate for all levels of patients from those who are non-ambulatory to injured high level athletes.  No swimming skills are required.

In time and with water, everything changes – Leonardo da Vinci
