Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic Therapy provides the client with a buoyant environment as well as resistance in multiple directions. It affords compression to help control swelling and assists movement, all in an environment that can decrease body weight by as much as 90%.

This treatment medium offers a therapeutic opportunity for individuals suffering from arthritis or any soft tissue or joint inflammation, from sensitivity to weight bearing, and/or from trunk and extremity joint dysfunctions.

Water allows exercise to occur safely, often when land-based activity cannot. Capitol Physical Therapy’s aquatic program is an optimum adjunct to our land-based programs, offered either as an alternative or a transition to our land-based physical therapy
