FAQs about Aquatic Therapy for Auto Accident Rehabilitation

FAQs about Aquatic Therapy for Auto Accident Rehabilitation

Following a minor auto accident, victims often suffer musculoskeletal injuries ranging from whiplash and back/head injuries to broken bones and general trauma. In addition to chiropractic techniques and physiotherapy provided at our Philadelphia PA clinic, at Oxford Rehabilitation we offer aqua therapy can facilitate recovery from auto injuries all while minimizing pain and stiffness without the need for medications or surgery.

Benefits of Aqua Therapy in Philadelphia PA

The resistance and viscosity properties provided by water makes you move slower while immersed, allowing the brain more time to interpret signals from the muscles. This re-education of your muscles happens during your auto accident rehabilitation program with aqua therapy as you focus more intently on taking muscles carefully through a full range of predetermined motion. Muscle re-education promotes the development of normal muscle movements that may have suffered disruption due to an auto accident injury. Your nervous system also supports muscle re-education by “mapping” motions and helping your brain remember them.

Aqua therapy at our Philadelphia PA rehab center replenishes your body with improved blood circulation that facilitates transportation of nutrients and oxygen to cells, muscles, and organs. In addition, the ability of cells to eliminate carbon dioxide and other toxins from body tissues is further supported by the cardiorespiratory benefits of rehabilitative aqua therapy.

Enjoying regular aqua therapy sessions not only builds muscle strength and joint flexibility but may also help reduce your risk of suffering bone diseases such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and degenerative bone disorder. Rhythmic, low-impact aqua therapy exercise is an amazingly effective method for keeping ligaments and fluids involved in joint movement stimulated, healthy and pain-free.

My mom was in a car accident and Oxford Rehab was the center were she took therapy and they are amazing. Dr Cohen and Gerard are knowledgeable, caring and helped us a lot going through her recovery. They are flexible with schedules and super easy to reach them if you have any questions. I highly recommend them and we will be forever thankful with them.

I don’t even know where to start. This place is heaven sent. After my car accident I was in so much pain mentally & physically. Dr. Cohen literally changed this for me. He found certain issues in my body that I didn’t even know was there. He is so thurl. The staff here is great. I originally was sent to another place for therapy & I didn’t feel like what they were doing was working. When I came to Oxford Rehab my God. They put me to work and had me moving around in no time. Some days were difficult but all the staff worked very hard to get me back to normal. They were so patient with me. I will miss coming to see all the staff here. If you want a very reliable, patient, and supportive experience then this is definitely your place. I promise you wont regret it.

I want to complement the people I worked with to get me where I can say “I feel tremendous!!”but in particular, their lead physical therapist,Wendy. She is absolutely the best therapist you can have. She put me through physical exercises to increase the flexibility and strength in my left hip after having full hip replacement surgery. She is knowledgeable and professional and is willing to show you how to do the exercises properly to make you better with a pleasant and positive demeanor. She balances having you do physical therapy on one day and aquatic therapy on another day and it has helped me to heal significantly better. The office staff, Gerard and Marie, are pleasant and efficient and greet you with a smile and courtesy that make you feel welcome. I highly recommend this center if you seriously want to get better and results.

I really loved to come to Oxford rehabilitation Center. The staff are so friendly. My physical therapist Wendy made me feel like a family. I'm in my 70's and suffering from neurological health issues that limits my ability to walk more than 2 blocks. She picked me up from my house for the first 8 weeks. I have been coming here for water therapy for 6 months. I have made remarkable improvements in my leg strength, balance, endurance. Now I gained freedom to go out by bus without difficulty. I was able to reduce my medication needs to once a day. When I am in the pool, I am able to do all exercises painless that are too painful and difficult to do on land. I call it " The healing water".

Dr. Cohen is by far the best. He’s very attentive and has the best jokes. Wendy is very nice and very quick. She keeps the boys in line. Marty is very knowledgeable and patient. Gerard lol he’s very short! lol all jokes aside he’s very good with communication and scheduling. This was thee best physical therapy establishment that I’ve had the pleasure to treat with. The staff is amazing and the facility is always clean. I wouldn’t want to treat anywhere else but oxford rehab.
