Ridgewood NJ, The YWCA Bergen County offers convenient and affordable rehabilitative exercise classes for people of all ages living with physical limitations or challenges. Our experienced and caring Aquatics Specialists conduct water therapy classes in two spacious, heated pools, and you can take advantage of a free trial session to find out if a program is right for you.
Since 1985, the YWCA’s Health and Therapeutics department has continuously developed programs in conjunction with physical therapists to treat a variety of physical and medical conditions. Aquatherapy classes are designed for adults with orthopedic and/or neurological conditions. These group classes use water movement exercises to increase range of motion while strengthening muscles and improving flexibility. Arthritis Class provides gentle exercises to increase range of motion, relieve joint stress and relax muscles with instructors specifically trained to assist arthritic individuals. One-on-one instruction is available for individuals who are unable to participate in group classes.
All classes are held at the YWCA’s 112 Oak Street, Ridgewood location. This facility is handicapped accessible, and our Habernickel pool is equipped with a hydraulic lift to provide easy entrance and exit. For more information, please call (201) 444-5600, ext, 400 or visit us online at www.ywcabergencounty.org.
