Water Works Total Rehab is an outpatient Physical Therapy and Wellness Center. Our facility was started and founded by our first patient, Michael Miceli, and his physical therapist, Deborah Devol, in 1994. Mr. Miceli had been struck with the debilitating syndrome, Guillain-Barre, which, for best results required him to rehabilitate his weakened body in a pool.
Fast forward to today and Water Works Total Rehab has grown tremendously and established itself as a leader in the field of aquatic therapy. Through a combination of innovative and cutting edge aquatic protocols, highly qualified and skilled therapists, uncompromising personal attention and, most importantly, results, we have built an outstanding reputation. We have a referral base of over 250 physicians and clients alike.

Benefits of Aquatic Therapy
- Water supports your body. Its buoyancy decreases stress on muscles, joints and bones, making it easier to relieve pain in body.
- Water relaxes your muscles. It assists muscle movement, decreasing pain and increasing range of motion. Our pool is kept at a comfortable 91 degrees.
- Water reduces swelling in your painful muscles and joints. By surrounding the body with hydrostatic pressure, circulation increases.
- Water improves balance during therapy, and strengthens your muscles. Movement in water creates a resistance in all different directions.
