After injury, patients are able to re-learn “functional” skills of daily life then translate those skills back to land where gravity is reintroduced. What makes us different is that we are in the water at all times treating each patient individually, utilizing manual Chiropractic and massage techniques often used out of the water. Water provides the optimal conditions for manipulation, as weightlessness relieves muscle tension while adjustments are made. Show less
