About Aquatic Therapy

Norwood Performance Therapy features on-site aquatic therapy capabilities with the HydroWorx 350 Pool and Treadmill. The HydroWorx pool is designed to help patients safely accelerate rehabilitation with less pain. The HydroWorx underwater treadmill is integrated seamlessly into the pool floor and takes advantage of the body’s buoyancy in water and can reduce the amount of body weight during a physical therapy session. This, in conjunction with therapeutic warm water, can allow for decreased joint compression and pain.

For aquatic therapy appointments, private changing and lockers are available. All patients should bring a towel and wear appropriate bathing or similar garments.

HydroWorx Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic Therapy is similar to that provided on land with the added benefit of decreased pressure on the joints from the buoyancy of the water. This is optimal treatment for conditions with decreased weight bearing, weakness, limited endurance, or where pain affects tolerance of exercise. Typical diagnoses would include post operative orthopedics or spine surgeries such as total joint replacements, back fusions or laminectomies, multiple sclerosis, back injuries and arthritis.
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Women’s Health/Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Our licensed physical therapist customizes physical therapy treatment plans to meet the individual needs of patients diagnosed with pelvic floor disorders. Depending on the diagnosis, a treatment plan may include a stretching and strengthening routine, manual therapies, including myofascial release and massage, bowel and bladder retraining, biofeedback, and education.
