Water decreases impact during movement and enables patients to exercise when it may be difficult for them on land. Aquatic Therapy sessions address range of motion, coordination, strengthening, conditioning, mobility and pain management.
We welcome parents in the pool with our therapists to directly participate in their child's session. The pool is accessible by steps, ramp, roll-in chair or lift. Our pool is the only designated pediatric aquatic therapy pool in the region. The pool is heated and gives children a fun way to build their strength and confidence.
