Our Aquatic Center is open and in use!
We are excited about the unweighting benefits of aquatic therapy and how it’s warmth can help improve patient function. Our 16×60 foot heated pool is at a comfortable 95-96 degrees and will be available year-round. We currently have 3 CAPTCC certified therapists through the APTA and highly trained technicians available for treatment in the pool.
Benefits of Aquatic Therapy Include:
- Warm water facilitates muscle relaxation and increases peripheral circulation
- Viscosity of water provides resistance for strengthening and endurance
- Warm water stimulates body awareness, balance, and trunk stability
- Buoyancy helps decrease pain and sensitivity
- Decreased gravitational pull allows for increased WB activities such as Gait training and balance
