PBMC Physical Therapy Aquatics:
One-on-One Aquatic Physical Therapy 

The Aquatic staff is well trained in using the properties of water to provide you with physical therapy services that meet a wide range of treatment needs.

• Warm water enhances muscular relaxation, increases circulation and promotes healing.
• Buoyancy decreases forces on the joints, allowing those with chronic pain the ability to move and walk more easily than on land.
• The resistance of water allows strengthening to occur at any level of ability and in all directions.
• Exercise in water can help maintain cardiovascular strength.
  

Aquatic Physical Therapy is appropriate for any phase of rehabilitation and provides a safe and effective therapeutic environment for people who are limited in their movement on land.

A physician's referral is needed for Aquatic Physical Therapy.
After an evaluation by a licensed physical therapist, the patient will be seen individually by therapy staff.
