Try Aquatic Therapy!
Our Aquatic Therapy Pool is Located at Our Gilbertsville office.
Aquatic therapy (therapy performed in a pool), is quickly becoming well known for its amazing effects on decreasing pain, speeding recovery, preventing injury and improving function. Aquatic therapy consists of treatment that is performed in water which usually includes exercise and sometimes even manual therapy, if necessary. It is a beneficial form of physical therapy that is useful for a variety of medical conditions. Aquatic therapy uses the physical properties of water to assist in patient healing and exercise performance by reducing the weight bearing on joints and providing an overall warm, soothing environment. The fastest way to recover from pain/injury is to begin the rehab process, but often times pain levels prevent patients from beginning rehab. The pain commonly associated with rehab can be decreased/eliminated in water, thus allowing rehab to begin, first in water then progress to land.
Our pool is chemical free.
Our Aquatic Therapy Pool is now chlorine, bromine, and salt free. What does this mean? No more burning eyes and skin irritation. Our system uses a copper ionization in the water to kill bacteria (E-coli, Pseudomonas, etc.) and algae therefore further oxidizing, freshening, and sanitizing our pool.
Testimonials
"I came to Mishock Physical Therapy with right shoulder pain that radiated down my right arm, along with increasing episodes of numbness. The pain would sometimes wake me up three times at night and it was becoming more and more difficult for me to use my right arm for the daily activities of living- like getting dressed. Gradually, over a three month period, through the physical therapy and home exercise program given to me, I can now sleep through the night and do most activities with zero or minimal discomfort…and with no medication!! I am very grateful for the expertise of my therapist, Dr. Ann Miller, the other therapists, and their assistants. Everyone, including the office staff, was professional, caring, and friendly. I highly recommend Mishock Physical Therapy.”
