Aquatic Therapy

The aquatic therapy pool offers physical therapy in a warm water environment, heated to 94-96 degrees (F). The warmth and buoyancy of the water promote movement when it is too difficult to exercise on land.

The pool allows focus on:

• Increasing muscle and body strength/endurance through water resistance

• Decreasing pain

• Allowing for partial weight bearing and ambulation

• Strengthening respiratory muscles

• Relaxing muscles related to spasticity/tone to improve range of motion

• Promoting independence

The pool is equipped with a ramp and a chair lift and uses pool chairs/stretchers to allow access for all individuals, regardless of mobility level.
