Immersion therapy requires that patients perform their physical therapy, with a trained therapist, in a swimming pool. The use of the pool in post-fracture care may be able to provide a structured and standardized partial weight-bearing environment that could allow for early mobilization. It also has the potential to improve clinical outcomes by mitigating at least some of the loss in bone and muscle mass during the post-operative period; thereby, potentially speeding functional recovery. Immersion therapy is currently utilized on-site at the University of Utah Orthopedic Center for a variety of diagnoses, including in post-fracture care.
