Chronic Pain
Myofascial pain or Fibromyalgia
Obesity

What to Expect

At Fairfield Medical Center, each warm water therapy session is unique and designed to fit each patients’ individual needs. A referral from your primary care provider is recommended to initiate this process. Once the referral is confirmed, you will have a land evaluation with a physical or occupational therapist to outline your treatment plan and goals. If aquatic therapy is indicated, you will have therapy sessions in the water with oversight of a therapist at a later date. Before your sessions, you will have access to locker rooms with an automated lock to store your valuables.

We suggest bringing:

A swimsuit (required)
Cover-up
Towel
Plastic water bottle
