Wellness Programs
Our wellness programs allow patients to continue exercising and maintain the progress that they have achieved while in physical therapy. Wellness programs that are offered include Aqua Aerobics, the Independent Pool Program, and the Independent Gym Program.
The Aqua Aerobics classes are led by a licensed physical therapist and designed for individuals who wish to do aerobic exercises in warm water. These classes offer the benefits of cardiovascular, endurance, flexibility, and strengthening exercises with the added advantages of warm water. This provides a non-weightbearing environment, which is preferred for individuals with arthritis, chronic pain conditions, and poor balance, as well as for those without impairments.
The Independent Pool Program is designed for individuals who have previously completed a course of supervised aquatic therapy and who are now able to exercise in the pool independently without supervision of the therapist. Similarly, the Independent Gym Program is designed for individuals who have been discharged from a land physical therapy program and have reached a level of independence with gym exercises. This provides them the opportunity to return to the rehabilitation clinic to continue their exercises without ongoing supervision of a therapist. |
