Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic therapy (also known as water therapy) is a highly effective rehabilitation treatment for individuals dealing with conditions that cause pain when weight is placed on the lower extremities, such as arthritis, knee pain, hip pain, or lower back pain. The buoyancy of water reduces the strain on your joints, allowing you to exercise and regain strength without the discomfort associated with traditional land-based exercises.

FAQs

How many sessions of aquatic therapy will I need?

The number of sessions needed depends on your individual condition and rehabilitation goals. Your aquatic therapist will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan and will track your progress to adjust the frequency of sessions as needed.

Is aquatic therapy safe for seniors?

Yes! Aquatic therapy is a low-impact, gentle form of exercise that is especially beneficial for seniors. The buoyancy of water reduces the pressure on joints, making it easier for seniors to perform exercises that would otherwise cause discomfort. It is ideal for managing arthritis and back pain and improving balance and mobility.

What conditions benefit from aquatic therapy?

Aquatic therapy is effective for treating conditions such as arthritis, sports injuries, post-surgical rehabilitation, muscle spasms, joint pain, and neurological disorders. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with pain or limitations that make traditional land-based exercises difficult or painful

In the beginning of the summer I went into All Care with chronic lower back issues. It was incredibly uncomfortable and was starting to affect my job. What I noticed immediately was the receptionist Ashley who was friendly and very helpful. She greeted me warmly and walked me through the paperwork. Ashley's demeanor never changed during my time there. Additionally, I couldn't help but be aware of how the office, equipment, and facilities were all so clean and well maintained. I quickly discovered why this was the case. Each time a patient left a piece of equipment it was immediately cleaned by either an aide or a therapist. On the first day, I met with Lori who did my diagnosis. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and her easy-going personality put me at ease instantly. She explained why I was feeling the discomfort and the steps we were going to take to address it. During my time at All Care I primarily worked with Dave who like everyone else at All Care was incredibly patient, professional, and accommodating. He not only told me what I was doing, but why I was doing a particular exercise. When I did something incorrectly he patiently explained and demonstrated the proper way to do it. In addition to Dave, I was helped by Aaron and Rachael . They helped me do the exercises correctly and brought any equipment needed. I was really impressed with their patience. I went their twice a week for a month and a half and I still couldn't remember the exercises. Each time I forgot they calmly explained what I was doing and what exercise I was going to do next. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would strongly recommend All Care to anyone who was in need of physical therapy. One of the best decisions I made in awhile.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review. We truly pride ourselves in giving an all-around great experience and are glad we could help you feel better.
The only place I'll go. Christian and his team take an individual approach and give every person their full attention and care. When I get injured I tell my doc send me to Christian!

Would highly recommend Progress PT on Delaware Ave, can't say enough good things about my experience. Spent 4 months post-surgery and couldn't be happier with the progress they've helped me achieve. If you're looking for knowledgeable staff who genuinely care about your weekly progress, look no further. As friendly and welcoming as the environment is, they make sure you're pushing towards a full recovery each visit. The staff make real connections with their patients whether they're in for 2 weeks or 12.
Entire staff is so friendly, welcoming and talented in what they do. My main therapist was Olga who was incredible. Megan and Emilia were awesome and was so nice to be greeted by Emmanuel every time I walked in the door.

My experience at Excel Physical Therapy in Englewood Cliffs was a very positive one. Cesar, Natalie and the rest of the team are friendly and attentive to their patients needs. Cesar was knowledgeable about the exercises which were best suited for me. Upon discharge I was confident to continue the exercises at home based on his instructions. Thank you team.

I had a very successful outcome at PTW Montgomeryville thanks to their highly skilled team. They made it clear that if I worked with them I could achieve much greater mobility. The mobility results were realized and my pain is virtually gone as long as I follow the routine. No meds needed. This euphoric new life gave me the incentive to transition into their FITNESS PROGRAM!!!! I LIVE IT AND LOVE IT. This is the strongest I have been since the accident so many years ago. My sincere thanks to the team and especially Kaitlin, Matt, Stephanie and Laura. Consummate professionals!

Two months after my foot fracture I was still finding it very difficult to walk and I searched for the physical therapy center close to my home. I was delighted with Excel physical therapy and chose to have Catherine as my physiotherapist after reading good reviews about her. I felt better at the very first session – 50% of the stiffness that follows a fracture was gone! I am now having treatment for my hips and my back and hoping for the same excellent results.
Response from the owner:Thanks, Cathy! We are so glad you chose Excel PT.
I can’t say enough about this amazing place. Maria has been a blessing to me; after dealing with my issues for almost 2 years Maria is doing magic. Thanks to staff at Ivy Rehab Center for their work.

Everyones nice – however the Waiting room could use "sound dampening panels"! The room echos & and multiple therapists come out at the end of the sessions & it gets very loud.

Everyone at the facility is absolutely amazing. They’re sweet. They’re kind and they’re flexible with my schedule to be able to get my child in and they work very well with me since my baby has been going there when she started she didn’t know how to talk at all, she’s only been there a year and she talks up a storm now we’re still working on how she pronounce this things, but they have helped her come a long way. I’d recommend this facility to everyone and I went through a house, fire and lost things in. The whole facility was very kind. It was donating things to us. Them 100%

My husband has been attending PTW under Alex's care for Parkinson and we have seen such, care, compassion and attentiveness to his disease. There has been such improvement over all the other programs we have tried ! My husband has never been one to follow through but he actually enjoys his visits and looks forward to going to exercise He always feels like they are family and truly care about his well being. His neurologist has been extremely pleased with his progress..no medication increase and he has been able to do more on his own, such as bending, walking, dressing and buttoning..we can not be more pleased and the staff is outstanding and always go over and above. Today ,02.07.20 my husband started Alex's review of BIG 10 and new obstacles to overcome and manage all I can say is WOW the class was very informative, helpful and such support from the staff it was like having one on one personal supervision!!! I can not say enough about this group from Alex. Minh, Michelle and Candace if anyone has a Parkinson problem this is where you need to be!!!
Response from the owner:Appreciate the review, thanks for taking the time to share your great experiences.
The exercise programs applied are perfectly in line with what is required for healing. I especially recommend Roosha, with her expertise, professionalism and care.
Response from the owner:We're thrilled you had such a positive experience, thank you! – The team at Ivy Rehab Physical Therapy – Somerset
