We are the only orthopedic Physical Therapy facility in the Santa Barbara area with in-house aquatic therapy pools. Our pools are utilized for progressing toward functional mobility on land when initially land exercise may not be appropriate. Warm water naturally provides hydrostatic pressure, buoyancy assistance and pain reduction. In addition to these natural properties, our pools use turbines to create graded resistance thereby increasing the intensity level of exercise. This enables us to better prepare our patients for the challenges of eventual land based exercise programs.
