I chose Aquacare (Lewes, DE office) for my post-op physical therapy and I am so glad I did. They have an amazing staff of caregivers who will tailor a program for your needs. I had two incredible PTs who always listened to me to find that proper balance between challenging me and not being too hard on an occasional off day. Billing to my insurance provider was seamless. I am truly thankful that I chose Aquacare and would do it again. It’s no exaggeration to say that they helped me “get my life back” following my surgery.

I was referred to physical therapy after having slippage in my knee cap due to a weak tendon. I chose aqua care dance medicine as the best choice for me, due to the personalized treatment and care. Katie Oakley was amazing in helping me get stronger which helped me leave stronger then I even was before my injury. This has improved my dancing with the increase of height in my jumps, and strength overall. My favorite part about the program was the fun and kind attitude everyone had there, helping me get stronger and enjoy doing it.
