Aquatic Physical Therapy Evaluation & Treatment
We feature a 90 degree warm water swim spa with an underwater treadmill. Working one on one with our patients, the benefits of water are far reaching in the rehab setting. The natural buoyancy of water reduces the impact of gravity on the joints and creates an environment for building strength without causing additional pain . Moving in water also helps with decreasing swelling, improving tissue flexibility, and gaining confidence to move freely. Many patients can expect a quicker return to activity after suffering an injury or after surgery.
