Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Aquatic Fitness?
    Aquatic Fitness is an out-patient physical therapy clinic. We specialize in aquatic physical therapy utilizing a SwimEx 700T pool system. The pool has adjustable depths, eight work stations, a deep water walking and running platform and the ability to generate a resistive current. The pool allows for weightless rehabilitation as well as progressive weight bearing exercises. In addition, we offer land therapy, conditioning programs, educational programs for posture, body mechanics, and injury prevention.


  • Who benefits from our pool therapy?
    Most individuals with musculoskeletal dysfunction. We have found that most people function better initially in the pool allowing a quicker and more pain free recovery.


  • Why pool therapy?
      Benefits of water therapy can be credited to its physical properties which cannot be reproduced elsewhere.

    • Buoyancy: reverses the effects of gravity thereby reducing the pain associated with joint stress and weight bearing.
    • Hydrostatic Pressure: decreases swelling and increases circulation.
    • Viscosity: provides resistance with movement when the body is submerged into water. The viscosity of water is 12 times greater than air.


  • What if a patient can't swim or is fearful of the water?
    Our pool water is crystal clear and the depths can be adjusted to accomodate the individual. In some cases the therapist may need to be in the water with the patient.


  • Is the water cold?
    No, we maintain the water temperature between 90-92 degrees.


  • Can a person with an incision use the pool?
    Yes! We have bioclusive dressings to cover open areas. The dressings are waterproof and prevent contamination.


  • If I am injured, will I be able to get in/out of the pool?
    Yes! There is a ladder for ambulatory patients with rails on either side. For patients unable to use the ladder, a sitting transfer can get you in and out of the pool.


  • Is aquatic therapy covered by insurance?
    Pool therapy is covered by most insurance companies, but to find out if your provider will cover your treatment, call our offices or email our staff.
