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.
