We offer patients access to the numerous benefits that pool-based rehabilitation provides. Not only does Aquatic Therapy work as an excellent complementary treatment to land-based exercise, but it is proven to extend countless additional benefits for a wide range of diagnoses, from post orthopedic surgery to osteoarthritis and neurological conditions.
American College of Rheumatology lists Aquatic Therapy as a strongly recommended method to treat osteoarthritis. American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation also cites Aquatic Therapy, strength training, and balance activities as the most beneficial means to reduce pain and improve function.
Aquatic Therapy offered in our endless therapeutic pool offers many advantages and benefits to individuals recovering from all phases of injury or illness. The scope of patient diagnoses treated in our pool is surprisingly vast, encompassing everything from post-surgical, non-surgical, orthopedic, rheumatologic, and neurological to chronic pain.
It is the therapeutic properties of the water combined with the skill and specialized training of our Doctors of Physical Therapy that will help you improve your mobility and function. You do not have to be a swimmer to participate in or benefit from water therapy.
Our Physical Therapists provide Aquatic Therapy in our endless therapeutic pool at our location in St Joseph, Missouri. It is offered as a modality in conjunction with land-based therapy or by itself as the primary therapy if appropriate.
Individuals can access the pool either by stairs or a hydraulic lift that uses a chair.
