GVPT is now offering aquatic physical therapy.
Aquatic PT treatments are conducted in a shallow water pool, heated to 86 degrees, at the Eastside YMCA in Penfield and the Westside YMCA in Rochester (Gates). All treatments are conducted by a licensed PT, in the pool with you, throughout your treatment session.
Why Choose Aquatic PT?
- Low impact exercise reduces strain on inflamed joints.
- Warm water (86 degrees) soothes aching muscles and joints.
- Improved circulation from hydrostatic water pressure.
- Decreased weight bearing by 75%, allowing for earlier return to functional exercise following injury or surgery.
- Beneficial to all physical therapy diagnoses including acute and chronic conditions.
