Land-Based Therapy
Land-based therapy, also known as terrestrial therapy, is a form of rehabilitation or treatment that takes place on solid ground, such as in a clinic or outdoor environment. It involves various physical and therapeutic exercises, movements, and interventions designed to improve an individual’s functional abilities, mobility, strength, balance, and overall well-being.

Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy, also known as water therapy or hydrotherapy, is a therapeutic approach that takes place in a pool or other water-based environment. It utilizes the unique properties of water, such as buoyancy, viscosity, and hydrostatic pressure, to facilitate rehabilitation, healing, and overall physical well-being.

Aquatic Physical Therapy, offered at Peterson Physical Therapy, provides numerous benefits for a wide range of patients and conditions. This specialized rehabilitation approach helps individuals recover function after an injury while maintaining or improving fitness levels during the healing process. It is a safe and progressive form of therapy conducted in a water environment that reduces the impact on weight-bearing joints, making it suitable for all, regardless of swimming ability.
Under the guidance of licensed physical therapists, activities such as water walking, running, stabilization exercises, flotation, and the use of specialized equipment for buoyancy or resistance are incorporated into your treatment plan. Additionally, general strengthening exercises using water resistance or assistance are tailored to your specific goals. In some cases, a combination of aquatic and land-based therapies may be recommended for optimal results.
Description:
Manual physical therapy plays a vital role in addressing physiological barriers caused by injury, overuse, or poor posture. Skilled therapists are able to correct these issues and promote healing, resulting in faster and more successful recoveries.
Manual therapy involves a range of techniques for musculoskeletal care, including joint mobilization, stretching, massage techniques, myofascial release, joint manipulation, and taping techniques. These approaches are utilized to improve joint mobility, enhance flexibility, reduce muscle tension, release fascial restrictions, realign joints, and provide support to muscles, ligaments, and joints. By employing these diverse modalities, manual therapy aims to alleviate pain, optimize movement, and promote overall physical well-being.
