WELCOME TO INTEGRATED THERAPY!
As the Southeast's largest aquatic physical therapy provider, Integrated Therapy specializes in outpatient aquatic physical and occupational therapy—treating various conditions and injuries to muscles, bones, ligaments, joints, and nerves. ​
​
Founded in 1999, Integrated Therapy is patient-focused and committed to providing patients with the highest quality of care. Utilizing the physical properties of water, our goal is to restore patients to their maximum function where they can resume their normal activities—focusing on a friendly, results-oriented approach to help them move from pain to recovery.
A highly effective form of rehabilitation, modern aquatic physical therapy combines the benefit of exercise with the buoyancy and resistance of heated water to create a controlled, productive environment for rehabilitation and recovery.
Patients of all ages can prosper from the amazing, healing effects of water. Our therapists accompany each patient in the water during all treatment sessions. However, swimming is not required, as most exercises are performed while standing in the water using flotation devices or holding onto the side of the pool.
​
Integrated Therapy serves patients in over 45 locations in Georgia and North Carolina—including Metro Atlanta, Athens, Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, and Brunswick County. ​​​

Why Water?

The utilization of the physical properties of water to promote healing and return patients to function is not a new concept.
