Warm Water Therapy

Warm water therapy is specialized therapeutic service provided by a physical or occupational therapist within a warm water therapy pool environment. The warm water environment, which is usually kept between 91-94 degrees, allows therapists to use the properties of water, such as temperature, buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, and resistance for therapeutic purposes. Warm water therapy assists in increasing mobility, circulation and range of motion, while decreasing high muscle tone. Many children respond very well to the warm water and enjoy the fun, therapeutic environment.
