If you’ve been recommended for physical therapy, you should set some goals for yourself about your treatment. For example, what do you want to be able to do when the treatment is finished?
If you’ve hurt your knee running long distance, maybe your goal is to get back to your average running pace. If you’ve torn your rotator cuff, your goal might be to lift your arm over your head without pain. Whatever the case, you should have a goal that you can share with your physical therapist.
At Excel Sports and Physical Therapy, we help patients achieve their goals daily. We’ve been serving the Wentzville, Missouri area for years, and we love helping patients find relief. For many patients who are suffering from a severe injury, we recommend aquatic therapy to help improve treatment results.

Benefits of aquatic therapy at Excel Sports and Physical Therapy
Aquatic therapy is a technique that uses the natural buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure and resistance of water to treat injuries. There are many benefits of aquatic therapy, including:
- Reducing physical and mental stress during your therapy sessions
- Promoting relaxation of your body and your mind
- Building muscle strength and endurance
- Improving your coordination and balance
Often, aquatic therapy is used to enhance physical therapy programs. It can also be used when joints are severely damaged and cannot bear weight, such as a torn ACL or sprained ankle. For many patients, aquatic therapy helps to increase recovery time and improve quality of life.
