Aquatic Physical Therapy

The indoor pool at Inbalance Physical Therapy ranges from 4 feet to 6 feet deep. The pool has been specifically designed for optimal use in rehabilitation and has shorter steps, hand rails and a chair lift. The temperature of the pool ranges from 85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. The pool also features a 2 level seated section with jets to massage the back as well as a resisted power jet swimming section. We have private changing areas, showers and lockers.

Aquatic therapy relies on the properties of water to ensure a safe and therapeutic environment through the use of hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy, and joint unloading. Water is an ideal location for teaching movement because it demands internal stabilization of the spine and pelvis. Water has the ability to assist, support, or resist movements and allows for both non-weight bearing and partial-weight bearing therapy. By using buoyancy equipment, the patient can be suspended in water without touching the bottom of the pool. This allows the patient to move freely and removes impact on the musculoskeletal system.
