All PVHC patients receive a comprehensive evaluation by our certified physical therapists before engaging in exercise-based rehabilitation. This initial assessment allows the rehabilitation team to accurately determine the patient’s needs and capacity for physical activity before designing a rehabilitation plan.
If aquatic physical therapy is integrated into the patient’s treatment plan, sessions will be scheduled with a qualified clinician instructor who will guide the therapy.
Aquatic therapy can be an appropriate strategy regardless of water abilities—it is not necessary to know how to swim to participate, and the pools are equipped with lifts for accessibility.
Aquatic therapy offers numerous advantages over traditional land therapy to patients of all ages. The gravity-free environment allows patients a more excellent range of motion earlier in recovery and accelerates functional mobility. Patients who struggle to stand unassisted will not risk injury from falls or slips. Because patients can see and experience progress early in their rehabilitation, they often feel encouraged to participate more robustly and enthusiastically in their recovery.
Aquatic health and rehab services allow a wide variety of targeted exercises to be performed safely. The resistance in the water will enable patients to build muscle strength and endurance while enhancing coordination and balance.
