Aquatic Therapy

Pain, stiffness, or limited mobility can make traditional physical therapy challenging. St. Luke's Therapy Sevierville's Aquatic Therapy program offers a refreshing and effective alternative.  Experience the healing power of water to manage pain, improve function, and rediscover the joy of movement.

What is Aquatic Therapy?

Aquatic therapy is a form of physical therapy performed in a warm-water pool. The buoyancy of water reduces pressure on your joints, allowing for pain-free movement and exercise.  This gentle environment is ideal for individuals who may find traditional land-based therapy challenging.

Who Can Benefit from Aquatic Therapy?

Our program is designed to help a wide range of individuals, including those with:

• Arthritis
• Chronic pain conditions
• Injuries (post-surgical rehabilitation)
• Neurological conditions (e.g., stroke, multiple sclerosis)
• Balance and gait impairments
• Balance disorders
• Obesity
• And more!

Benefits of Aquatic Therapy:

• Pain Relief: The buoyancy of water reduces weight-bearing stress, allowing for pain-free movement and exercise.
• Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion: Warm water relaxes muscles and improves joint flexibility, promoting a wider range of motion.
• Increased Strength and Endurance: Aquatic exercises can effectively build strength and improve cardiovascular endurance in a low-impact environment.
• Balance and Coordination Training: The dynamic properties of water challenge your balance system, promoting improved stability and coordination.
• Faster Recovery: The combination of warmth, buoyancy, and gentle movement can accelerate healing and recovery after injury or surgery.
• Fun and Engaging: The aquatic environment provides a refreshing and enjoyable atmosphere for exercise, making therapy more motivating.
