Who will be providing my care?
All evaluations and treatments are performed by licensed physical therapists. When you are assigned to a specific physical therapist, you will remain with that therapist throughout the course of your treatment. At no time will any of your treatment or supervision be performed by an unlicensed therapist.
3.
Will my insurance pay for aquatic therapy?
YES. It is physical therapy done in the water.
4.
Do I need to know how to swim in order to participate in aquatic therapy?
NO. Aquatic therapy is usually performed in chest-deep water. Our pool is only 5 feet deep and we will provide you with as much hands on attention as needed.
5.
Do I need a prescription to attend land or aquatic therapy?
YES. We can accept prescriptions from an MD, Osteopath, Podiatrist, Dentist, Nurse Practitioner, or Physician's Assistant.
6.
What type of treatment will I receive?
Treatment is initially based on the evaluation findings. Changes in the treatment plan can be made on a daily basis or at periodic re-evaluations. Treatment may consist of hands-on techniques, exercises programs (land, aquatics, or both), and modalities to help relieve pain or inflammation. Home exercises may be incorporated to further speed recovery.

How long will each visit last?
The first session will last approximately one hour while future treatment sessions are 1/2 to 1 hour in length.

Can I choose which physical therapist I go to?
Absolutely! It is your right to choose the therapist or clinic you want to treat your condition. If you have a preference, you should let your health care provider know. Remember, not all therapists are the same and you need to select the one that is right for you.
