Aquatic Physical Therapy

Continue your journey to physical fitness during and even after therapy.

Improve Core Strength and Address Balance Deficits

Spine and orthopedic problems can prevent patients from enjoying the benefits of land-based physical therapy. Also, there are patients who are just deconditioned for or not tolerant of land-based exercise programs.

Thankfully, there’s aquatic physical therapy to promote physical rehabilitation, fitness, relaxation, and other therapeutic benefits. Water can be used for resistance in place of weights or gravity—this is what makes aquatic therapy different from land therapy.

At Phoenix Physical Therapy, we provide aquatic physical therapy. SueB Earl, our owner and founder, facilitates this program. She has more than 28 years of experience, so you have the assurance that she can provide you with the services you need.

We Proudly Give Quality Treatments.

The Goals of Aquatic Physical Therapy

Our team will provide you with personalized therapy that suits your needs, conditions, and goals. We’ll work with you closely to ensure that you get the therapy you need every step of the way.

With our aquatic physical therapy, you can:

  • Your body constantly responds to pressure and movement when you’re in the water. This can improve your sensory awareness, balance, and coordination.
  • The support given by water provides relaxation and decreases the fear of falling, which, in turn, can make exercises impossible on land now possible.
  • The viscosity of water and the drag forces created by it can improve your activity tolerance and strengthen your muscles.
  • Also, aquatic physical therapy can enhance breathing function and aerobic capacity for improved health.  
  • Buoyancy can decrease the effects of gravity. This allows for an enhanced range of motion and makes it less painful and easier for you to move.
  • When exercising in the water, there’s less impact and stress. Buoyancy supports injured joints and muscles.
  • In addition, water has the ability to press in on injured areas. This results in improved motion and reduced swelling.
