NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS
Disorders of the central nervous system, such as brain injury, concussion, stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and Cerebral Palsy often have complex challenges. Aquatic physical therapy can often greatly improve strength, range of motion, sensory loss, coordination, and balance.

DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS
Developmental delays that result from autism or other conditions can benefit from aquatic physical therapy. Water has sensory properties that can help a child with special needs enjoy treatment. That, in turn, leads to improvement in the critical motor skills needed at various stages of childhood development.

AGE-RELATED CONDITIONS
As we age, we lose muscle mass and can suffer from imbalance issues, not to mention age-related diseases such as arthritis or osteoporosis. Aquatic physical therapy reduces the stress on joints and bones, making it easier to build the strength and stamina we need to live long, healthy, and productive lives.

POST-COVID REHABILITATION
Some people recovering from COVID-19 may need physical rehabilitation to help them resume normal, everyday activities. Aquatic physical therapy can help patients with decreased strength begin to slowly move again, gradually building up stamina, and restoring function back to the muscles.

ORTHOPEDIC TRAUMA OR SURGERY
Recovery from a major accident or surgery often requires specialized care. Aquatic physical therapy can be effective at slowly building back muscle strength and function. We often team up with doctors and other physical therapists to develop a comprehensive treatment plan.

CHRONIC PAIN MANAGEMENT
Patients with chronic pain can often tolerate aquatic physical therapy much better than traditional physical therapy. The water's unique ability to reduce gravity, improve circulation, and provide resistance will often dramatically improve quality of life for these clients.

The pool is daughter’s favorite place to be because, even though she uses a wheelchair on land, she gets to “walk in water.”

The experience has been wonderful. Gravity cannot hold me prisoner in the pool like it does on land. My lungs get a workout while my arms and legs explore mobility that I once thought was lost.
