Aquatics

Edge Physical Therapy has on-site aquatic physical therapy in Essex, Williston, and South Burlington. No facility in the area offers more pool access than we do!

Aquatic therapy offers unique benefits for many individuals of various diagnoses and body types. The benefits of water are endless, and we use it to improve balance, stability, strength, flexibility, posture, proprioception, and more. Aquatic therapy uses buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure to challenge the body. Buoyancy helps to un-weight painful joints that otherwise limit the ability to exercise on land. Compensatory movements, that may create more aches and pains, are also alleviated through aquatic therapy. We get patients into the pool after surgery and help them get moving sooner. Plus, we tailor aquatic exercise programs to meet individual needs and help patients transition to independent programs.
