Water Therapy
Experience the Healing Power of Water Therapy at The Hetrick Center
The HydroWorx® Aquatic Therapy pools were designed, invented, and protocols for treatment were developed by our own Dr. Paul Hetrick. Integrating this water treadmill has been revolutionizing physical therapy, sports medicine, and conditioning. We fine-tune a therapy plan customized to your individual needs and conditions.
The HydroWorx® pools allow us to vary the water depth, speed of the underwater treadmill, the temperature of the water, resistive jets, and amount of exercises performed to create an individualized plan for each patient. Leading sports, healthcare and fitness organizations throughout the U.S. utilize this same innovative technology to rehabilitate and condition their patients and athletes.
Why Choose Aquatic Therapy?
-
Gentle on Joints: The buoyancy of water reduces body weight impact, easing joint stress.
-
Improved Mobility: Warm water relaxes muscles and improves circulation, helping increase range of motion.
-
Pain Relief: Water provides resistance and support, allowing for functional movement with less pain.
-
Faster Recovery: Ideal for post-surgical rehab or injury recovery, especially when land-based therapy is too difficult.
Our state-of-the-art aquatic therapy pools are kept at a comfortable 94°F and feature easy access via hydraulic lifts or walk-in stairs, ensuring a welcoming and accessible experience for all patients.
Water therapy, also known as aquatic therapy, is a low-impact therapeutic treatment performed in a warm-water pool. This environment supports the body, reduces stress on joints, and enhances mobility, making it an ideal option for patients of all ages recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions.
At The Hetrick Center, our licensed physical therapists use water therapy to create personalized programs that support your healing journey. Whether you’re dealing with arthritis, recovering from a sports injury, or managing neurological or musculoskeletal conditions, our aquatic therapy services provide a safe, effective alternative to land-based treatment.
