Gentle Movement to Help You Recover

Pool Therapy

What is Pool Therapy?

Our pool therapy here at Coastal Rehabilitation & Wellness offers a warm, supportive environment where physical therapy meets the gentle embrace of water. Guided by licensed therapists, sessions take place in our heated therapy pool, allowing buoyancy to ease joint pressure and make movement feel effortless. This near-weightless setting enables improved range of motion, strength building, and balance training—without the strain land-based may bring.

How Does Pool Therapy Help?

Water isn’t just supportive—it’s therapeutic. Hydrostatic pressure from water immersion helps reduce swelling and improves circulation, while the viscosity creates natural resistance for safe, muscle-strengthening exercise. The warmth of the pool further encourages muscle relaxation and pain relief, making pool therapy especially effective for conditions like arthritis, postoperative recovery, chronic pain, neurological conditions, and balance disorders.

In a pool, movement becomes confidence. You can practice walking, coordination, and motor skills without fear of falling; resistance and support help improve gait, stability, posture, and cardiovascular endurance—all at a pace that honors your comfort and abilities.

Whether recovering from surgery or working toward everyday strength, each session is personalized and compassionately delivered—just where you're most at ease, just like at home.
