Aquatic Therapy in Southern California
Gentle Waters
Casa Colina's Aquatic Therapy Program is the only facility of its kind
in the Inland Empire to offer certified aquatic rehabilitation therapists
as well as warm and cool water therapy pools. What is aquatic therapy?
This unique therapeutic program offers a safe environment for individuals
to begin an effective no-impact or low-impact exercise program.
You do not need to know how to swim to experience the advantages of water
physical therapy. This program will help anyone with an injury, medical
condition, or rheumatologic illness that finds exercise and movement on
dry land to be too painful or jarring.
There are many aquatic therapy benefits. Water provides an anti-stress
environment where you can perform gentle exercises to maximize the benefits
of its resistance. You'll benefit from aerobic exercise without the
negative affects of excessive joint compression.
The buoyancy of water is truly one of the most enjoyable ways to reach
your rehabilitation goals. Aquatic therapy is also one of the most effective
treatments for the long-term management of the symptoms of rheumatologic
disorders, such as arthritis and Fibromyalgia.

your physical capabilities on dry land. We'll also conduct some baseline
