AQUATIC THERAPY HELPS PATIENTS RECOVER FASTER
When it comes to Aquatic Therapy, Bounce Back Physical Therapy is proud to take our rewarding methods of therapy into the water. We provides our patients with the best in aquatic therapy. The buoyancy, support and accommodating resistance of water enhance exercise and create a safe environment for progressive rehabilitation. The temperature of the water prompts muscle relaxation, facilitates stretching and generally reduces the sensation of pain. Some of the benefits include: • Improve Strength and Endurance
• Increase Range of Motion • Normalize Muscle Tone • Improve Balance and Coordination • Protect Joints During Exercise • Improve Circulation • Decrease Swelling • Reduce Stress • Moderate Body Temperature
allow injured patients to exercise with a greater range of motion without hurting joints or re-injuring themselves. The workout gets the blood moving faster through the injured area, so healing is faster. The water pressure also helps keep down swelling.
Bounce Back Physical Therapy’s aquatic programs helps you recover faster. Our therapists are trained and certified in special advanced techniques. A customized aquatic therapy treatment program can

“Over the past decade, Aqua Therapy at Bounce Back has made a life changing difference for me. During my most recent flare up of chronic back problems, I was barely mobile, walking only with a cane, and experiencing level 10 pain. By starting gentle exercises in the water, and progressing in a step-wise program, I am now walking without a cane on my own and on my way to being fully functional. None of this would be possible without the added support of being in water.The entire staff is always positive and encouraging and make a difficult time feel very worthwhile.” -Tammy B. “None of this would be possible without the added support of being inwater.”
