Pool 2 — Guided Gait Retraining
Sarah M. · Week 6 of 12 · 34° C
Healing moves differently here.
In a warm therapeutic pool, your weight disappears — and with it, the barrier between you and movement. We guide post-surgical patients, aging adults, and children with CP through rehabilitation that simply isn't possible on land.

Referral & Assessment
Before you enter the pool, we build a clinical picture complete enough that your first session is already therapeutic — not exploratory.
Diagnosis Review
We review your surgical notes, imaging reports, and referring physician's clearance before scheduling.
Functional Assessment
A 45-minute in-pool evaluation measures your current range of motion, weight-bearing capacity, and pain response in water.
Baseline Documentation
Goniometer readings, timed walk tests, and standardized pain scales create a measurable starting point.
Treatment Plan Design
Your therapist designs a session-by-session protocol, shared with your referring physician before treatment begins.
Treatment Design
No two protocols are alike. Your therapy plan is written specifically for your diagnosis, documented in clinical language, and shared with your care team before session one.
