How Our Aquatic Therapy Works

During water therapy sessions, you will perform a variety of exercises and functional activities with assistive aids as needed. With the support of buoyancy cushioning your body, you will move more freely than gravity would typically allow. You will breathe easier and feel the tension melt away.

Your therapist will guide you through each exercise, providing instruction, support, and real-time feedback on technique and effort to ensure you maintain proper alignment and control. They will customize the activities to target your specific condition and mobility needs while progressing you appropriately. As your body adapts to the water environment and we release restrictions, patients are often surprised by how much lighter, freer, easier, and fluid movements become. We leverage water’s natural therapeutic benefits and properties for integrative mobility relief.
