Often your physician or physical therapist will suggest aquatic therapy as part of your rehabilitation program. Aquatic therapy utilizes buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure, as well as variable resistance to create a workout for those who need a non-impact, yet challenging rehabilitation program. Aquatic therapy can be tailored to orthopedic and neurological dysfunction and is ideal for patients with weight-bearing restrictions, lower extremity fractures, lower extremity surgeries, total joint replacements/reconstruction, balance disorders, low exercise tolerance, and patients experiencing low back pain.
Whatever your end goal is, the skilled physical therapists at Joint Ventures are here to help! If you are specifically interested in aquatic physical therapy, visit our Brookline/Allston clinic. Just bring your swimsuit, a towel and we will take care of the rest!
