Aquatics

Aquatic Physical Therapy is now offered at BVPT!

Aquatic therapy is a wonderful treatment option in conjunction with land physical therapy or on its own for a more comfortable treatment environment.  Patients of all ages and abilities, as well as most diagnosis are appropriate for this treatment option. 

Patient’s feedback about aquatic physical therapy:
“I can do all of my exercises without having any pain when I’m in the water!”

“I was so afraid my knee was going to give out on me when I tried to walk without my crutches after surgery.  Practicing in the water helped me overcome my fear!”

“That was a much harder workout than I thought it was going to be!  The water really provides a lot of resistance.”

“I am sore after aquatic therapy, but it’s a good muscle soreness.  I really don’t have any pain in my joint itself after treatment.”

So why Aquatic Therapy?

• Decreased pain and swelling
