About Wellness & Recovery
Optimal Physical Therapy offers wellness and recovery services to support flexibility, mobility, and overall wellness. These services are designed to complement your physical therapy plan and help you maintain function, reduce pain, and improve how your body moves.
Independent services include aquatic membership, recovery therapies, and wellness modalities that support circulation, relaxation, and mobility.
- Salt Therapy (Halotherapy): Sit in an enclosed space while you breathe in microscopic negative ion-charged salt particles that help reduce inflammation, promote better breathing, promote relaxation, and help with a variety of conditions (ie., asthma, allergies, etc.)
- Infrared Sauna: Infrared saunas use infrared light to directly warm the body, offering benefits such as relaxation, detoxification, improved circulation, stress relief, and pain relief.
- Vasopneumatic Compression (Normtec and Rapid Reboot): Rhythmically inflate and deflate to apply controlled pressure to the affected area to speed of recovery, enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and reduce pain.
- Warm Water Endless Pool: Our 15' x 15' endless water pool features two treadmills and a transfer bench for easy access. Schedule a 1:1 session with a therapist or consider a monthly membership for independent exercise.
As part of your overall care, these services work alongside physical therapy and home exercises to support long-term mobility, flexibility, and wellness.

Ice After an Injury? From RICE to PEACE and LOVE
For years, the go-to advice for a new injury was to grab a bag of frozen peas and follow the R.I.C.E. method—Rest, Ice, Compress, and Elevate. The belief was that this would reduce inflammation, ease pain, and speed up recovery. But new research, including findings as recent as 2025, suggests it’s time to rethink that approach.
