The aquatic therapy is excellent for patients with musculoskeletal problems. It provides an opportunity for people to exercise and gain strength in a comfortable environment where they can re-initiate limb and body movement.

The buoyancy of the water facilitates mobility and assists with exercise. Aquatic therapy is also unique because it decreases impact and provides compression while still promoting movement. Coordination and aerobic activities can also be performed in the pool.

TexPTS’ pool, the SwimEx 600T, is a multipurpose pool that can meet the needs of patients with total joint replacements and severe arthritis, as well as the needs of the recreational and professional athlete.

Aquatic therapy equipment can also be used in conjunction with the various workstations to assist with resistance exercise for strengthening. For individuals who need assistance, our pool features a hydraulic lift to permit effortless access in and out of the pool.

Who Benefits from Aquatic Therapy at TexPTS?

Patients suffering from arthritis, back problems, knee injuries, ankle injuries, and those who have had orthopaedic surgeries are just a few of the many who can benefit from aquatic therapy.

Though aquatic therapy is not recommended for certain medical conditions, the vast majority of people can participate. Swimming experience is not necessary, and removable platforms allow TexPTS therapists to adjust the depth of the pool to customize and tailor a person's exercise or running program.
