Aquatic therapy uses the power of water to help you improve strength and function. Improving your quality of life. The therapy pool that we use is a Hydroworx 2000. The bottom of the pool is an underwater treadmill. You enter the pool at zero depth and are gently lowered into the water. A certified therapist will guide you.
All patients who have an order from their doctor or advanced care provider to receive physical therapy are evaluated on their first appointment. If the therapist feels that aquatic therapy would be beneficial, he or she will talk with you and your doctor about that option. In general, both the therapist and your doctor must agree that aquatic therapy is medically necessary in order for health insurance providers to approve it. As always, we recommend that you check with your insurance provider before making the final decision.
