About Physical Therapy

Individualized physical therapy in warm water helps decrease pain, enhance muscle relaxation, increase strength and flexibility, expand range of motion and improve circulation. The buoyancy of water reduces the pain associated with the compressive forces of gravity, allowing muscles to work more effectively.

Warm water encourages blood vessels to expand, reducing blood pressure and allowing the heart to function more efficiently during workouts. It is also a great way to work on balance skills, as muscles are constantly at work stabilizing the body, but without fear of falling.

Services are provided by registered physical therapists and supervised physical therapy assistants. A physician's referral and prescription are required. After an initial evaluation, the physical therapist designs a program appropriate to each client's individual needs. At the end of their therapy services, clients are discharged to their own maintenance program which will be continued either at home or in the swimming pool.

How To Get Started

In order to begin your treatment you MUST get a prescription from your physician. Once the prescription has been brought to us, personally or by fax, the process is under way. We work with most insurance companies to make sure you get the treatment you need in a timely manner.
