Aquatic Therapeutic Programs

Set in our fully accessible, 88-degree indoor pool, aquatic therapy is appropriate for any phase of rehabilitation. Warm water enhances muscular relaxation, which increases circulation, reducesswelling and promotes healing.

When immersed to shoulder level, 80% of the body's effective gravity dissipates due to water's buoyancy, reducing compressive forces on the joints. This allows those with chronic pain to move with increased range of motion, and eventually progress from partial to full weight-bearing activity.

“We provide aquatic therapy because we love it, we believe in it and our patients see positive results from it.” —Caryl Sircus
