Aquatic Therapy Benefits Boynton Beach Location

At Palm Beach Aquatics and Physical Therapy, we have a state-of-the-art aquatic therapy pool at our Boynton Beach location. Aquatic therapy provides patients the perfect atmosphere for early intervention, exercise, and activities designed specifically to achieve the best possible patient outcome.

After an illness, injury, or surgery, a patient's sensitivity to pain may be increased or the ability to bear weight on the injured area limited. In water, the pull of gravity on the body is not as strong as on land, therefore motion and functional activity are much more comfortable. Water supports the body, reduces joint stress, and provides resistance and assistance to movement. Patients can improve mobility, strength, and function rapidly during the healing process. Our Palm Beach Aquatics and Physical Therapy Team is ARTI Aquatic Therapeutic Exercise Certified. This specialty specific training ensures patients with orthopedic, neurological, and post surgical conditions receive the most appropriate and best aquatic therapy experience possible.
