Whether you are a patient interested in aquatic therapy or someone interested in group water running classes, our skilled instructors will take you through a one-hour session that meets your therapy needs.

WATER RUNNING
A one-hour cardiovascular conditioning session designed to improve your running form and performance. Water running is 100% non-weight bearing and is performed in deep water using buoyancy belts. This resistance-enhanced training maintains intensity while reducing overuse injuries that can result on land. This class is appropriate for all orthopedic diagnoses and skill levels.

Cost: Open to the public; free for YMCA members or a $12 drop-in fee payable to the YMCA for non-members.

Schedule: Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:45 – 7:45 PM,
Saturdays 8:30 – 9:30 AM

 
 

AQUATIC THERAPY
Aquatic therapy is led by our licensed physical therapists. The one-hour session is a combination of deep-water running, as described above, and function based shallow-water exercises which decreases the weight bearing stress on joints by 5 95%. Exercises are tailored to your diagnosis.

Note: This class is for patients only. All clients must have a land-based evaluation before beginning aquatic therapy.

Schedule: Fridays 9:15 – 10:15 AM
