Aquatic Therapy

NTPRC’s aquatic center consists of (1) a whirlpool, (2) an exercise pool with swim jets, and (3) an aquaciser underwater treadmill system.   Water natural buoyancy allows a person to strengthen muscles groups with decreased joint stress, while hydrostatic pressure tends to decrease swelling and improve joint position awareness.  Warm water also relaxes muscles and vasodilates blood vessels, increasing blood flow to injured areas.
