Aquatic Therapy:
Water has many healing benefits and anyone who’s splashed around in the pool on a hot summer’s day knows the good feeling of buoyancy as well as the resistance water can provide. These two concepts are key ingredients to aquatic therapy. People with weight bearing restrictions, significant leg weakness, can utilize the water to gain strength and gait train in an environment without gravity. Walking in water at waist level a person is 50% weight bearing and at chest level is 75-80% weight bearing. Our pool is wheelchair accessible with a ramp into the pool. The pool is also heated to provide a therapeutic affect for clients suffering from arthritic pain and acute/chronic back pain. Aquatic exercises will be progressed to bridge the gap between water and land allowing the patient to transition into successful performance in functional activities on land.
Aquatic therapy times are as follows:
Mon, Wed, and Thurs 3pm to 4pm
Tues, Wed, and Fri 11am to 12pm
