Aquatic Therapy

At APTOR Physical Therapy, we are pleased to offer aquatic therapy where the supportive properties of water make movement and exercise more manageable.

​

The buoyancy of the water reduces the amount of weight placed on the joints, while the water provides gentle resistance for strengthening, balance and conditioning.

Aquatic physical therapy may be helpful for patients experiencing:​

  • Arthritis

  • Joint pain

  • Muscle weakness

  • Balance limitations

  • Reduced mobility

  • Difficulty tolerating land-based exercise

  • Limitations following an injury or surgery

  • Reduced strength or endurance

Treatment in the water may include:​

  • Walking

  • Range-of-motion exercises

  • Strengthening

  • Balance activities

  • Stretching

  • Conditioning exercises
     

As your strength and mobility improve, your therapist may gradually transition some activities to a land-based program.

Start by sharing where you’re experiencing pain or difficulty and how it’s affecting your daily activities. We’ll evaluate your needs and develop an appropriate plan to help you move forward. Most insurances accepted.
