For Elders
A note on word choice. We use the word “elder” very intentionally. In Alaska Native culture, an elder is more than a person who is aged, it conveys wisdom, experience, and respect.
More About Aquatic Therapy for Elders
At Current Practice PT, we offer personalized aquatic physical therapy services for elders seeking a gentle, effective, and supportive way to move and heal. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, a surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply seeking a safe, low-impact way to move and stay strong, aquatic physical therapy can offer a refreshing, empowering experience.
You don’t need to be a strong swimmer, you just need to be willing to get a bit wet (and we will never ask you to get your face wet if that makes you uncomfortable).
Who is this for?
The buoyancy of the water reduces strain on joints and allows for freer movement. This makes it especially helpful for:
Joint pain, arthritis, or post-op recovery
Balance and mobility challenges
Maintaining strength and flexibility in a gentle environment
Fall prevention through safe, supported movement practice
What Makes This Different?
Aquatic PT at Current Practice isn’t a group class or generic water exercise. Each session is:
One-on-one with a licensed physical therapist
Tailored to your unique needs, preferences, and pace
Designed to build physical skills and confidence
You’ll be an active participant in your therapy, with space to ask questions, explore movement, and find joy in what your body can do.
We practice patient-centered care. That means we prioritize consent, choice, and collaboration in every session. We recognize that many people come to physical therapy carrying past experiences of pain, fear, or feeling unheard. You deserve care that is respectful, empowering, and safe. You’re the expert on your body, and we’re here to support your goals in a way that feels safe and affirming.
