Aqua Therapy

Enjoy the freedom of movement and safe exercise in the water.

What is Aqua Therapy?

Aqua Therapy takes a holistic approach to client care. It assists a person regain pre-accident or pre-disease mobility and function in an environment where they report a sense of freedom and feeling weightless in the water.

It encourages people to work on areas of their body where normally they feel pain and discomfort. It is a safe transition to an exercise program for many who have never exercised before.

• Gait training • Neuro motor development and sensory integration • Muscle performance-strength, power, and endurance • Motor function and motor control learning • Joint integrity and mobility • Gait, locomotion, and balance • Aerobic capacity and endurance

How an Aqua Therapy program works:

Our Aqua Therapist discusses the client in an initial phone call with the physiotherapist/occupational therapist. Impairments and management of injury are discussed.

The Aqua Therapist meets with the client in the pool to assess his/her level of functioning pertaining to the water.

A program is created.

The program is monitored and changed within the improvements or difficulties of the client throughout the facilitation of the program.
