Aquatic Therapy
Therapy Pool
The Aquatic Center Therapy Pool at NTPRC consists of a whirlpool and an exercise pool with swim jets. Water's natural buoyancy allows a person to strengthen muscles groups with decreased joint stress, while hydrostatic pressure tends to decrease swelling and improve joint position awareness. Warm water also relaxes muscles and vasodilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow to injured areas.

Hydrotherapy
The AquaCiser III is comprised of an exercise chamber, a water reservoir and control console housed within a fiberglass unit. Water temperature and depth, along with treadmill belt direction and speed can all be manipulated with low-impact, high resistance workouts to help patients’ confidence and balance with 360° of resistance for all movements. The AquaCiser III offers improved benefits for many conditions and post-surgical recovery.
