Therapy Gym and Aquatic Pool
We have expanded our Therapy Department and added an Aquatic Therapy pool as well as new equipment, in order to better be able to serve you. In addition to the pool, we have added a Nu Step Machine, an adjustable Computerized Treadmill, as well as a Multi-gym.
Aquatic Therapy has become well known for its beneficial effects with speeding recovery and preventing injuries. The fastest way for a patient to recover from an injury or surgical procedure is to begin the rehab process, but oftentimes pain levels impact the ability to start. The pain commonly associated with rehab can be decreased/eliminated in water because it reduces the weight bearing on joints. Once in warm, soothing water:
- ROM (Range of Motion) increases
- Water resistance helps to strengthen muscles and reinforce balance
- Water resistance automatically creates and easy or hard workout based on energy exertion
- Muscle spasms decrease
- Pain sensitivity decreases
- Exercises are more enjoyable
- Patients exercise at their own comfort level
Features of our Aquatic Pool include:
- Pool Lift Chair for patients who have decreased functional mobility from pain, weakness, or who are wheelchair dependent
- Hydrotherapy Jet System at the under water bench to relax tired and sore muscles
- Badu Jet Swim-in-Place System with variable water speeds for increased resistance during treatment
- Exercise rail for patients to hold onto for safety
- Computer software programs available to individualize treatments
