Aquatic Services
Bay Area Rehabilitation Center has been making disabilities become possibilities in the greater east Houston area since 1948. Initially an organization that provided therapy services for children, the Center began providing outpatient occupational, physical, and speech therapy services to all ages in 1995.

Bay Area Rehabilitation Center was chosen by the readers of The Baytown Sun as the 2016, 2019, 2020, and 2021 Reader's Choice Award Winner for Best Physical Therapy (there were no categories for occupational and speech therapy)!

Aquatic Therapy
Aquatic therapy is provided in our indoor, heated 25 meter therapy pool. The pool features an attached hot tub, lift chair, and wheelchair ramp. With a depth of 3 to 5 feet, even those who cannot swim or are afraid of water can rehabilitate comfortably and safely. Some of the physical and therapeutic benefits of water include increased circulation, endurance, strength, and range of motion. Aquatic therapy allows for functional movement by reducing the effects of weight bearing on joints by up to 80 percent.

"As a person trying to recover from several severe back problems, I have been going to Bay Area Rehab for over 2 years. The pool is warm and soothing and everyone can exercise and visit. It is the best bargain in Baytown and maybe the whole area."

Aquatic Exercise Participant
In addition to providing a great location for therapy services, the Aquatic Center also features several conveniently scheduled Aquatic Exercise Classes led by a qualified instructor. These classes do not require a physician's prescription to participate, but your physician does have to approve you taking the class to ensure you're health allows you to participate in the conditions you will encounter during the classes.
Aquatic exercise has many benefits for those who find it difficult to exercise on land, have limited mobility, or want to lose weight. The water in our indoor, heated pool helps to reduce joint and back pressure allowing you to tone, strengthen and move with ease. Aquatic exercise also provides great benefit for those who have recently completed outpatient physical or occupational therapy services who wish to continue to gain strength and flexibility.
A collaborative with the Houston Area Parkinson Society (HAPS) may assist those with Parkinson’s Disease.
