Atlantic Rehabilitation
A hands-on approach of integrating therapeutic and kinetic activities
in an aquatic environment to provide full or partial body support in a bouyant (gravity reduced) setting
using state-of-the-art water-resistive principles for effective
therapeutic intervention.
An aquatic based exercise program provides a unique environment where a
patient can challenge the limits of postural stability
without fear of the consequences normally associated with
land-based exercises. This is accomplished by the water's ability
to provide both support and resistance. The patient is challenged to
move outside the base of support to attempt tasks reducing the anxiety
normally experienced on land.
