Company
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
This one-hour cardiovascular conditioning session is 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. It is led by experienced staff of both Presidio Sport & Medicine and the YMCA.

Cost: Open to the public; free for YMCA members, a $15 drop-in fee payable to the YMCA for non-members

Schedule: Tuesdays & Thursdays 7:00 – 8:00 PM,
Saturdays 8:45 – 9:45 AM

 
 

AQUATIC THERAPY
Aquatic therapy combines deep-water running as described above, and function-based shallow water exercises, which decrease the weight bearing stress on joints by 5 - 95%. This service is for current patients who have had a land-based evaluation, as exercises are tailored to individual diagnoses.

Cost: This class is for patients who have had a land-based evlaution. Costs vary based on insurance coverage.

Schedule: Arranged on case-by-case basis and depends on therapists’ availability
