Our pool therapy program at our Altoona, WI location offers a comfortable, safe environment for rehabilitation and exercise. The heated pool at 92 degrees provides buoyancy that reduces stress on your joints while you work toward recovery. If you're recovering from surgery or looking to improve mobility, Northwoods Therapy Associates provides specialized aquatic therapy. Services include:

• Post-surgical care for hip, knee, ankle, and back
• Walking and running on an underwater treadmill
• Stretching, strengthening, and balance exercises
• Early return to weight-bearing activities
• General exercises to reduce body stress and strain

You can enter through stairs or our hydraulic lift chair for easy access. Reach out to us to schedule your pool therapy session.

Patients choose aquatic therapy because water's natural buoyancy allows for earlier movement after surgery and reduces pain during exercise. The warm temperature relaxes muscles while you rebuild strength and flexibility. You'll benefit from:

• Reduced joint impact compared to land-based exercises
• Earlier weight-bearing after surgery
• Decreased pain during movement
• Improved circulation and muscle relaxation
• Enhanced balance and coordination training

Our physical therapists work one-on-one with you in the pool, customizing exercises that match your recovery goals. The pool was designed specifically for rehabilitation, making your therapy more effective than traditional land-based approaches.
