Aquatic Therapy
Our aquatic therapy program offers a safe, low-impact way to improve movement, balance, and strength—especially for those living with neurological conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and brain or spinal cord injuries.
The water’s natural buoyancy reduces the effects of gravity, allowing you to move more freely with less pain and fear of falling. It’s an ideal environment for rebuilding confidence while working on mobility, coordination, and endurance.
Whether you’re recovering from a recent event or managing a long-term diagnosis, our one-on-one aquatic therapy sessions are guided by our experienced aquatic therapist who understands your condition and cares about your goals. With the support of warm water and a skilled team, you’ll work toward greater independence and improved quality of life—one step (or stroke!) at a time.
