Our therapists provide aquatic therapy to children and adults in a heated 92 degree pool which is located close to our therapy center. Aquatic therapy has many benefits including increasing ROM and strength in muscles and joints, improving balance and coordination, increasing weight bearing through joints, cardiorespiratory/cardiovascular and pulmonary endurance improvement, pain management, improving motor skills and planning, and psychosocial benefits. Our therapists have continuing education within this specialized area of therapy.
Aquatic therapy is led by a licensed physical therapist or occupational therapist with specialized training in aquatic therapy. The warmth of the pool allows for relaxation of the major muscle groups while the water also provides support and resistance to help strengthen and develop muscles.
Our Aquatic Sensory program is designed for children who have sensory concerns, coordination difficulties, and minor physical needs.
Our Aquatic Motor program is designed for children with significant physical needs including difficulty with coordination, motor planning issues, muscle tone concerns, and overall gross motor functions.
