Aquatic (water) physical therapy and rehab*

Aquatic therapy provides a unique method of rehab.

Because water makes the body more buoyant, aquatic physical therapy places less stress on your joints. This can make it easier and less painful to complete rehab exercises.

It's a useful option for people who are healing from surgery or for those who have:

• Arthritis
• Chronic joint or muscle pain
• Fibromyalgia

Aquatic therapy also:

Promotes early range of motion. Increases flexibility. Tones muscles.

Helps heal and strengthen injured tissues. Reduces joint stiffness.

*Aquatic PT and rehab is only offered at our Pittsburgh-area locations.
