Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic Therapy coming soon to

Performance Spine!

The aquatic therapy program at Performance Spine & Sports Medicine takes your rehab program out of the clinic and into the water. Many of the exercises performed during an aquatic therapy session are similar to those used in the clinic. By doing exercises in the pool, we can use the properties of the water to increase the benefits of exercise. The warmth of the water (90-95°) helps to relax the muscles, increase flexibility and relieve pain. The buoyancy of the water helps to support body weight so that patients who have difficulty doing exercise while standing can often do more in the pool. Doing exercise in the water provides natural and even resistance to allow for strengthening of weak muscles.
