About Us
Every patient receives personalized care beginning with
the doctor’s prescription, through the treatments and into
the wellness continuum membership program. As patients progress
into normal function,
they are offered membership options for continuing into fitness
programs. Patients can choose to participate in low or high intensity
water
exercise classes, water walking, swim lessons and massage therapy. Our Mission

rehab or professional and amateur athletic training. The flat floor
design provides options for improving range of motion, strength,

stabilization and coordination for all populations.
Pool Gymnasium
The Pool Gymnasium concept has benefits for both short and long term
fitness, fun and rehabilitation. With the lower stress on joints
that the support of the water gives, and the resistance of the water,
patients can work to restore or increase their strength and flexibility.
Therapy and rehabilitation programs are adaptable to everyone; from
seniors to amateur athletes to professional and the handicapped.
Pool therapy allows for omni-directional range of motion exercise
for total body restoration of strength and movement.
