Proactive Rehab Physical Therapy, Aquatic & Wellness Center FAQs

Aquatic physical therapy is the evidence-based and skilled practice of physical therapy in an aquatic environment. Aquatic therapy includes treatment, rehabilitation, prevention, health, and fitness.

Physical therapy (PT) helps people recover from surgery, an accident, or an injury by improving their body's ability to function and quality of life. PT can also help when a person has suffered a heart attack, stroke, fall, or neurological disease.

We at Proactive Rehab evaluate patients' mobility, balance, and strength. We ask what challenges you are facing and what you want to get back to doing. We then create a physical therapy plan to improve your physical condition and help get you back to your normal activities.

We use physical therapy to address sports injuries, post-surgery recovery, and auto accident injuries.
