Spectrum Rehabilitation and Wellness has the only heated hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)pools in Southern Colorado, including El Paso county. The benefits of a H2O2 pool  is that there is no chlorine or bromine involved so people with pulmonary (lung) problems or skin problems have no problems with this type of pool. H2O2 pools deal with bacteria more effectively than any other type of pool making it the cleanest and safest. There are no noxious aromas and you don't even have to shower upon getting out of our pools.

The Comprehensive Aquatic Therapy Program at Spectrum Rehabilitation and Wellness Center is an invaluable treatment option incorporating the use of aquatic exercise principles and manual techniques designed to aid in the rehabilitation of various medical conditions.

Benefits of Aquatic Physical Therapy

• Decreased Compressive Forces: The buoyancy of the water removes between 80-90% if our body weight in chest-deep water allowing much earlier weight-bearing in weak, painful or post surgical joints.
• Decreased Pain: The warm water has a massaging effect on the body promoting muscle relaxation and reduction in pain sensitivity.
• Significantly Speeds Healing: Early joint movement is possible in water which helps prevent joint stiffness, edema and muscle atrophy.
• Improves Strength, Flexibility and Stability: With the constant resistance of the water, you can work in strengthening and mobility in addition to trunk stability.
• Decreased Swelling: The hydrostatic pressure of the water is an ideal environment to address swelling and assists in venous pumping.
