Aquatic Rehabilitation

Vantage Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation provides aquatic therapy in our on-site, multi-depth heated pool. This unique rehabilitation tool has become the treatment of choice for various arthritic, neurologic, industrial, orthopedic, and sports-related injuries and diseases.

Aquatic therapy uses the physical properties of water to assist in patient healing and exercise performance by eliminating the weight-bearing stresses and effects of gravity. As water suspends the body, less comprehensive force occurs on muscles and joints, which helps make movement easier without added pain or physical duress. This resistance allows for muscle strengthening without the need of weights. Pain, swelling, and muscle spasms are decreased through the aid of hydrostatic compression. Your healing process will be enhanced by the warmth of the water as it assists in relaxing muscles and opens vessels, increasing blood flow to the injured area.
