Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic Therapy is offered at our Club One Almaden Valley facility (located behind Westfield Oakridge Mall in San Jose). The pool is used as a therapeutic medium that the physical therapist uses to provide safe rehabilitation for patients with a variety of conditions.

Benefits of Aquatic Physical Therapy:
• Ability to exercise with decreased weight bearing and joint compression.
• Decreased edema which promotes circulation.
• Decreased muscle guarding and pain.
•Strength work is possible for patients who are otherwise unable to do so as the viscosity of water offers resistance against the patients movements.
•Appropriate for chronic pain, spine, post-surgery, fibromyalgia, arthritis and deconditioned individuals.
•Morale builder.



Aquatic Physical Therapy Treatments Include:
•One-on-one care between therapist and patient.
•Aquatic exercise and therapy techniques to include Badragaz Ring Method, PNF, stretching and endurance training.
•Manual therapy techniques to include myofascial release, tissue mobilization, joint mobilization, strain and counter strain techniques.
•Progression to land-based treatments and gym regime as tolerated.



Facilities include:
•All-season pool enclosure
•Private therapeutic pool
•Pool heated to therapeutic temperature of 92-96 degrees
•Option to purchase an independent pool pass for personal maintenance programs for those patents who have no access to a pool at home.
