Valley View Medical Center's Outpatient Therapy Services includes a pool for aquatic therapy. Certain conditions and injuries are best treated while you are in water. By conducting your treatment session in water that is maintained at therapeutic temperatures, you will have greater control over your movement with less pain as your body is partially supported by the buoyancy of the water. The use of water allows you to function at levels that are not possible outside of this environment, which afford positive physical gains. The ultimate goal of aquatic therapy is to progress you to a more functional, land-based program.
Occupational Therapy helps patients overcome obstacles and regain skills so they can return to home and work-related activities. We enjoy the challenge out work provides, and enjoy helping to maintain peoples safety and independence in their communities. Common treatments include:
