Dive into Healing!
Our newly renovated aquatic therapy pool is open and ready for you! Experience the benefits of low-impact, water-based therapy in a state-of-the-art setting designed to help you recover faster, improve mobility, and feel your best.
Have you ever wondered about the difference between aquatic pool therapy and aquatic treadmill therapy? At Trilogy Physical Therapy, we offer both to support your unique rehabilitation needs. Aquatic pool therapy, available at our West Seneca location, uses the natural resistance and buoyancy of water to reduce strain on joints while improving strength, flexibility, and mobility. It’s especially beneficial for individuals recovering from injury, surgery, or managing chronic pain.
At our Amherst location, we offer aquatic treadmill therapy, which allows patients to walk or jog on an underwater treadmill. This approach provides a more controlled and dynamic environment for gait training, endurance, and strengthening—while still taking advantage of water’s low-impact support. Both options offer powerful benefits, and our expert team can help you determine which is the best fit for your recovery goals.

Common Conditions an Aquatic Therapist Can Help With
Aquatic therapy is a type of aquatic physical therapy and aquatic occupational therapy treatment that takes place in water, generally in an in-clinic pool. It has soothing properties that can benefit you if you are seeking relaxation and pain relief. Two of the most common conditions that aquatic therapists are experts at treating are back pain and balance issues.
Back pain
Back pain is one of the most commonly experienced conditions, and it can affect nearly anyone at any age. This kind of pain can form as a result of an injury, or simply as a part of getting older. Back pain is often quelled with over-the-counter pain medications, but with the help of a knowledgeable aquatic therapist, you don’t have to depend on pills to help you feel better. As previously stated, our clinic believes in the healing magical properties of water. They are perfectly suited to treat back pain!
Only 20% of your weight is supported by your spine when you’re in chest-deep water. This makes it much less painful and easier to exercise your back muscles. In the deepwater part of our program, we focus on the core while the patient wears a flotation belt and holds weights. If necessary, modest spinal traction can be used to relieve pressure between the vertebrae, which is common in the spine.
Balance and gait disorders
Balance disorders are rather common. Feeling imbalanced is never pleasant, and it can put you at risk of falling and hurting yourself. Our clinic’s aquatic therapy might help you improve your balance.
There is no risk of injury when completing standard land-based balance exercises in the water. You may sustain injuries such as a hip fracture if you fall on land. Not only do you have the support of a flotation belt in the water, but you also have the safety of the water if you lose your equilibrium! It’s a win-win situation for everyone.
If you stumble, you will simply get wet instead of falling down and hurting yourself. Our therapists can identify at-risk patients and provide hands-on assistance when needed, so rest assured that you’ll be taken care of!
What Makes Aquatic Therapy Successful at Decreasing Pain?
You might be wondering, “What makes aquatic therapy so special? It’s just water!” The truth is that this kind of therapy maximizes the magical properties of water, such as buoyancy, viscosity, and hydrostatic pressure. Water reduces the amount of weight you’re bearing on your joints and spine as you exercise. It also provides resistance, decreases inflammation, and improves circulation.
Our talented staff are skilled, licensed therapists that will focus your total body exercise program to reduce your pain. Our aquatic therapy program will improve your endurance, muscle strength, and balance.
Why Should I See an Aquatic Therapist?
There are several reasons why you may want to go see an aquatic therapist at Trilogy. Besides living with chronic conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, multiple sclerosis, stroke recovery, and joint disorders, you may have other common goals for your aquatic therapy treatment, such as:
- Improving flexibility
- Improving balance and coordination
- Building muscle strength and endurance
- Enhancing aerobic capacity
- Assisting with gait and locomotion
- Reducing stress and promoting relaxation
If you’re not sure whether or not aquatic therapy would be a good fit for you, you can always ask our team. They’d be more than happy to do a full assessment of your condition to determine the best plan of action for your therapy treatment!

TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) is the world’s leading educational organization dedicated to the study of how the human body functions in relation to the golf swing. For over twenty years, TPI has gathered the world’s largest technical database of the game’s top Tour professionals as well as every-day golfers. TPI collects 3D motion capture, force, pressure, launch monitor, strength, power, and movement data on every player that visits the TPI campus. Using this data, TPI discovered how a properly functioning body allows a player to swing a golf club in the most efficient way possible. Conversely, TPI determined how physical limitations in a player’s body can adversely affect the golf swing and potentially lead to injury. This relationship is what TPI calls The Body-Swing Connection and is the foundation of all professional Certification courses offered by TPI.
There are an infinite number of ways to swing a golf club. However, there is one most-efficient way for each player to swing a club and it is based on what they can physically do.
