Pool Therapy
IMPACT’s PRISM Aquatic Center provides an optimal setting for treating a variety of problems, including muscle/joint pain, arthritis, neurological disorders, hypermobility syndromes, chronic pain disorders, post-surgical rehabilitation, pre/post-natal treatment, cardiovascular/pulmonary disorders and many more.
The properties of the water in the pool provide a beneficial and unique experience including:
• Buoyancy allows decreased weight-bearing force to the lower limbs. This results in less pain with movements/activities and the potential for early gait training after surgery.
• At a comfortable 92° temperature, the heated environment assists in relaxation and relief from muscle tension and overactivity.
• The hydrostatic pressure of the water provides increased ability to sense your joint position which enhances the effectiveness of exercises, especially for those who have instability or hypermobility. This also assists to decrease swelling and increase tissue circulation.
• Decreased gravitational pressure assists in decompressing the spine and joints that are submerged.
• Turbulence from the jets in the pool can provide resistance or assistance with movements, walking and exercises.
IMPACT’s PRISM therapy pool utilizes an advanced UV filtration system to ensure lower levels of chlorine to provide a gentle and safe experience for the skin and body.
In addition to all the benefits of a typical therapy pool, IMPACT’s PRISM pool was designed alongside Ron Hruska, founder of the Postural Restoration Institute®. It is the first of its kind in the world to incorporate postural restoration concepts with state-of-the-art stations to facilitate and normalize gait and function in the human body.
