Aquatic Therapy
Physical therapy in a warm water pool provides many benefits. The water’s buoyancy decreases the effects of gravity, which:
- Increases your flexibility, making it easier and less painful to move
- Increases muscle strength due to the water’s resistance
- Increases blood supply to sore muscles, which promotes relaxation
- Provides better balance
Our aquatic therapists may focus your treatment on core stabilization, exercise, gait training, and use of AquaStretch techniques.

Specific diagnoses that may benefit from aquatic therapy include:
- Back and neck pain
- Joint pain
