AQUACARE REHABILITATION SERVICES

Aquacare is not only aquatic therapy but much much more! At our Lewes Clinic, patients enjoy the benefits of an intimate setting. With 2 physical therapist’s and one exercise specialist, our patient’s see the same therapist each visit which enhances the continuity of care. Based on the initial evaluation, we will develop the best treatment plan to produce the optimum result. This may include aquatic therapy, physical therapy on land, or a combination of both. During aquatic therapy sessions, patient’s enter the pool via steps or chair lift. The pool temp is set to 92 degrees. The pool has both a shallow and deep end to allow us to maximize the buoyancy properties of the water to best serve the patient. On land, we spend a significant amount of time providing manual, hands-on treatment to restore proper joint mobility and function to return our patients to their normal activities of daily living with less pain and limitation.

We individualize our treatment plans for each patient to maximize results in the shortest amount of time.

We treat a variety of orthopedics diagnoses and conditions including, but not limited to, fibromyalgia, chronic and acute neck & back pain, sports injuries, work injuries, auto injuries, rotator cuff injuries, arthritis, and pre- and post-operative rehabilitation including total joint replacement. We also treat a variety of women’s health issues including urinary incontinence! For those of you suffering from peripheral neuropathies, whether it is from diabetes, chemotherapy or unknown cause, call us to try the Rebuilder. It’s works by cancelling out the abnormal nerve impulses and restoring normal impulses to decrease your pain and other symptoms. Feel free to stop in for a tour or schedule a FREE screening!

SERVICES OFFERED:

Water improves motion and flexibility as the warmth (92 degrees F) and massaging effects of the water allow muscles to relax, while helping to reduce pain. The natural buoyancy reduces gravitation pull, lessening compressive forces, thus making exercises much easier to perform than on land. Aquatic therapy is ideal for those suffering from low back pain, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, and arthritis to name a few. You do not have to be a swimmer to participate in aquatic therapy!

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome which often exhibits aching, fatigue, muscle pain and stiffness.

The warm water helps to relax stiff muscles and allows for pain-free movements.

Osteoporosis causes bones, especially in the spine, wrists and hips, to become brittle. The broken bones that result can lead to pain, height loss, difficulty moving around, a deformed backbone that curves forward and possibly, permanent disability and dependence. Aquacare's therapists will evaluate your posture, flexibility, balance, muscle strength, and coordination. Next they will teach you exercises to improve your flexibility, strength, and balance.
