Unique Services
TAH Physical Therapy is the only facility in Titusville that offers aquatic therapy. The therapeutic pool is kept between 90-94 degrees for not only your comfort, but also because this range reaches the ideal temperature for therapeutic benefits by drawing the blood into target tissues. This increased blood flow delivers needed oxygen and nutrients and removes cell waste. The warmth also relaxes tense muscles, decreases muscle spasm, relieves pain, and can increase range of motion. Our pool also provides an underwater treadmill for initial ambulatory exercises, therapeutic jets for pain relief and muscle relaxation, as well as an adjustable current jet which allows for higher level exercises.
A transition program from in-patient therapy to out-patient therapy is another unique feature that is offered. If you are hospitalized at Titusville Area Hospital, your established therapy regimen will be continued in the out-patient setting. The same highly trained therapist may even be treating you as an out-patient.
After your therapy is complete, you can join the F.I.T. (Functional Independent Training) program at TAH Physical Therapy. This program allows you to continue regaining strength and endurance on equipment that you are familiar with for a monthly fee of $30. The trained staff will also be available to assist you if you have any questions.
Direct Access
TAH physical therapy also offers direct access. This allows a physical therapist to evaluate and treat a patient without a referral from a doctor. It is covered by medical insurance the same as physical therapy with a referral from a doctor. It simply allows you to come in for treatment sooner, if you need to. The information from your physical therapy evaluation is sent to your primary care physician so he/she can be kept informed of your treatment and be part of the rehab team.
