Who can benefit from Aquatic Therapy? Everyone!

At Hands on Rehab, we use aquatic therapy to encompass the entire body and not just the injured area. It provides an alternative for those patients that cannot tolerate or have not had success with traditional land therapy. The warm water helps to relax muscles and promotes circulation thus increasing blood flow to your body to promote healing. The buoyancy of the water allows the patient to move easier and with greater flexibility than on land. Patients and therapists have discovered that incorporating aquatic therapy into their therapy program shortens overall treatment time. We have multiple aquatic therapy locations throughout Orange County!

  • Indoor, heated (90°+) therapy pool

  • Shallow and deep water rehab

  • Deep-water area for complete non-weight bearing exercises and decompression of the joints

  • Both pediatric and adult treatment programs

  • Specialty Aquatic Equipment to increase resistance as appropriate

  • One on one treatment

  • Private treatment room for evaluations and consultations

  • Private men/women’s locker rooms with showers

  • Wheelchair accessible facility

  • Dual handrail pool entry

Contact us or call us at (714) 847-8751 if you are unsure if you are a good candidate for aquatic therapy. Often times a patient can benefit from a combination of both land and aquatic therapy.
