Aquatic Therapy Program The McCune, Ainslie and Associates aquatic therapy program is a program that employs the gentle environment of a pool to assist in rehabilitation. One-on-one assistance is employed in assisting patients in the specific exercises prescribed for their particular problem. Pool based therapy is ideal for providing an "anti-gravity" environment for the rehabilitation of lower extremity fractures, low back pain and post-operative conditions. When in the pool, water pressure on the body aids in the reduction of inflammation and edema and the reduction of pain. Free from the influence of gravity, exercises can be performed more easily and without pain. Your physical therapist or doctor may suggest that you participate in an aquatic therapy program as a part of your rehabilitation.
The aquatic therapy program utilizes the YMCA pool on 50 W Graham Rd and meets on Monday and Wednesday of each week. For more information on whether this program is appropriate for you, please call McCune, Ainslie & Associates at 607-257-5009. |
