Things to know about our pool
Therapy Pool

We have a wonderful indoor therapy pool with a large 4000-gallon capacity. The depth of the pool ranges from 3-5 feet to accommodate all heights. Having the therapy pool inside our facility allows us to easily incorporate aquatic exercise into your therapy program. For advanced clients the pool is large enough to comfortably allow swimming against the endless current.

• 91 degree water relieves pain and stiffness
• Buoyancy alleviates pressure from injured joints allowing pain-free exercise
• Adjustable current provides resistance for higher level activity

"Abbreviated Definition of Aquatic Physical Therapy:
Aquatic Physical Therapy is the scientific practice of physical therapy in an aquatic environment by physical therapists and physical therapists assistants. Aquatic Physical Therapy includes but is not limited to treatment, rehabilitation, prevention, health, wellness and fitness of patient/client populations in an aquatic environment. The unique properties of the aquatic environment enhance treatments for patients/clients across the age span with musculoskeletal, neuromuscular, cardiovascular/pulmonary, and integumentary (skin) diseases, disorders, or conditions."
