Riverview Retirement Community is one of the few outpatient clinics that offers aquatic therapy. Our residents enjoy our aquatic multiplex every day. We teach aquatic exercise classes such as water aerobics, resistance walking and Ai Chi. These classes are open to the public for a fee. In addition, we have a therapy pool, heated to 92 degrees, that is used for aquatic physical therapy. We have a licensed water therapist to assist 100% in the pool for those clients that need aquatic therapy. For those that need assistance into the water we have lifts and water wheelchairs and ramps.
