Aquatic Therapy & Wellness Program
at HHH's On-Site Warm Water Aquatic Facility
Aquatic therapy and wellness programs are offered for patients and community members in Helen Hayes Hospital's beautiful warm water aquatic facility.
Our state-of-the-art 25x60 foot warm water pool is maintained at a constant 92-94 degrees Fahrenheit and features a flat floor of varying depths to accommodate individuals of all heights and abilities. The pool also features an accessible lift, ramp, and handrails. Physical, occupational, and recreational therapists offer therapy and wellness/exercise options in the pool. A lifeguard is always on duty.
Warm water immersion lessens the effects of gravity, providing buoyancy and reducing weight-bearing stress on joints, often enabling participants to perform exercises they are unable to do on land. The benefits of aquatic therapy and exercise include increased flexibility, strength, coordination, and balance, as well as improved circulation and enhanced relaxation.
