Peak Physical Therapy & Sports Performance addresses benefits of aquatic physical therapy to Norwell Council on Aging

The benefits of aquatic physical therapy was the core message during a recent program at the Norwell Council on Aging facilitated by staff members of Peak Physical Therapy & Sports Performance, a South Shore practice specializing in unique programs that provide comprehensive treatment in orthopedic, spine and sports medicine specialties.

Eric Edelman, PT and owner of Peak Physical Therapy & Sports Performance and Cheryl O’Malley, PTA addressed the many merits of aquatic physical therapy during the well-attended program. The reduced weightbearing environment of aquatic therapy can be beneficial for orthopedic conditions and can provide a safe environment as part of a fall prevention program.

“It was a pleasure to share our knowledge about fall prevention and the value of aquatic physical therapy as part of a risk mitigation program,” said Edelman. “We look forward to participating in future presentations at the Norwell COA.”
