Pool Therapy
In conjunction with
physical therapy, we are able to incorporate pool therapy as one of
our unique services.
Pool therapy is a very useful tool in the rehabilitation of diverse
patient populations. It can also be used in conjunction with conventional
land therapy to help a patient’s progress.
Pool therapy can help
patients:
· Increase range of motion
· Increase strengthening
· Pre and post surgical rehabilitation
· Trunk strengthening
· Gait and proprioception training
· Facilitation of bone growth in non healing fractures
· Pain management
· Facilitates improved circulation
· Work hardening
· Cardiovascular training
Common diagnoses treated
in our pool therapy program:
· Low back pain
· Pre and post surgical joint replacement
· Musculoskeletal injuries
· Chronic pain
· RSD
· MS
· Arthritis
· Fibromyalgia
The pool is located in the East Hills Athletic
Club and caters to patients who benefit from a therapeutic pool
temperature of 87 degrees.
All patients are evaluated initially by
a physical therapist and an individualized treatment plan is established
for each patient and progressed as tolerated. A reassessment is
completed every two weeks and a progress note sent is to the referring
physician. If you have any question about our pool therapy options
please give us a call at GRSportsCenter 616-233-3599.
