Outpatient Rehabilitation
Aquatic Therapy

STARS provides aquatic therapy as an adjunct or alternative for low impact, efficient muscular and cardiovascular therapy. The water environment allows for less muscular effort to move joints, provides greater cardiovascular response, and creates supportive buoyant effects. Aquatic rehabilitation enhances balance, coordination, flexibility, endurance, muscle relaxation, joint range of motion, circulation, strength, and joint stabilization.

Because of the nature of the water, almost any diagnosis, from orthopaedic to neurological to chronic, can benefit. Those who enjoy the water environment do especially well with rehabilitation and are motivated to transition to community programs for lifetime fitness.
