Aquatic Therapy

Description of image Aquatic therapy complements other progressive and traditional therapy programs at Park Vista and is especially suitable for people who have difficulty exercising. Patients do not have to know how to swim to participate in aquatic therapy. Patients work one-on-one with their therapist and are never left unattended while in the pool.

Conditions that are ideal for aquatic treatment include rehabilitation following surgery; arthritis/fibromyalgia; neck, shoulder, low back, knee or ankle injuries; chronic pain; pre-surgical conditioning and sports and work-related injuries requiring rapid rehabilitation.

At Park Vista, we have a HydroWorx® 2000 http://www.hydroworx.com/?utm_source=Customer%2BWebsite&utm_medium=Link&utm_campaign=parkvistahttp://www.hydroworx.com/?utm_source=Customer%2BWebsite&utm_medium=Link&utm_campaign=parkvistaThe pools are used by medical professionals and world-class sports teams and feature:

Full Accessibility - the pool floor adjusts from a depth of zero to six feet, eliminating the need for ladders or steps. Even patients uncomfortable in deep water can enjoy the benefits.

Park Vista offers both inpatient and outpatient therapy. A physician’s referral is required to participate in aquatic physical therapy. We can walk you through the steps of obtaining a physician’s referral, and even contact our physician on your behalf.

Ongoing wellness, pain-management or arthritis classes are also available. No referral is needed.
