Aquatic Therapy
Presbyterian’s aquatic therapy programs provide a warm-water environment to assist in pain reduction while regaining range of motion, flexibility and strength. In conjunction with your land based physical therapy program, our warm water setting provides gentle support during exercise, helping to increase blood flow in a low-impact environment. Our team will coordinate a rehabilitation program based on specific needs. They can suggest pool classes and exercises after the formal rehabilitation program to maintain benefits of an aquatic therapy program.
Note that placement into the aquatic therapy program will be determined following an evaluation by one of our physical therapy team members. To schedule an evaluation, please contact the closest aquatic therapy location to you from our list of Clinics and Facilities below.
