Physical Therapy Today
At Physical Therapy Today, we believe manual therapy is a necessary part of the rehabilitation process. Pain is often caused by a mechanical block to movement, movement dysfunction (too much or too little movement) or a strength imbalance. It is only able to be fully relieved by including a combination of manual therapy techniques along with therapeutic exercise, postural re-education, and traditional physical therapy modalities. We utilize a comprehensive approach and treat the cause of the problem to restore movement, reduce pain and improve function.

Underwater Treadmill Center
Physical Therapy Today also offers a one-of-a kind fitness option to the public with The Underwater Treadmill Exercise Center located in Southwest Lubbock at 6202-82nd Street. A total of 16 underwater treadmills are housed in heated pools with a 4-½ foot water depth. The treadmills have the capacity to range in speed from .1 mph to 7.5 mph, thus, allowing for a variety clients’ walking or running abilities. Each underwater treadmill is powered by a hydraulic pump that circulates hydraulic fluid to and from the treadmill. The large digital display panel allows clients to view their speed, time, and distance while exercising on the treadmills. The buoyancy of the water allows clients to exercise freely without the impact on the lower extremity joints and lower back, but provides the intensity of an effective exercise program. A client in chest-deep water is approximately 25% weight bearing but has the resistance of the water to increase the heart rate, to burn calories, and to improve his/her physical well-being.
