Aquatic Therapy Services
Fox Valley Physical Therapy & Wellness Clinic is the only clinic in Oshkosh that offers aquatic therapy and exercise.
Fox Valley Physical Therapy is the only private practice in the area that offers a therapeutic pool. Aquatic therapy is beneficial for a variety of medical conditions and uses the physical properties of water to aid in patient healing and exercise performance.
- Buoyancy allows for less pressure through joints during exercise
- Decreases muscle guarding and spasms
- Decreases effects of arthritis
- Increases circulation
- Decreases joint pain
- Decreases inflammation
- Increases balance, gait, coordination, and flexibility
Dry Needling
We are pleased to announce that we are incorporating dry needling as another option for patient care.
Our physical therapist, Stephanie Meyer DPT, received her training through Myopain Seminars. Dry needling is a technique that uses a small filiform needle to stimulate myofascial trigger points and muscles to help manage pain and decrease movement abnormalities. "Dry" indicates that no medication or injection is inserted by the needle.
- Chronic Pain
- Tendinitis
- Low Back Pain
- Headaches
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Joint Pain
Treatment Plans
Early intervention, patient education, and proper treatment are essential elements in returning patients to normal function.
Individual, specialized Treatment Plans are developed for all patients depending on the injury or dysfunction. Treatment plans consist of:
- Patient education
- Manual Therapy techniques including, but not limited to, myofascial release, soft tissue, and joint mobilization and muscle energy.
- Customized Therapeutic exercise for specific musculoskeletal dysfunction
- Modalities may include electric stimulation, ultrasound, ice/heat, fluidotherapy, whirlpool, phonophoresis, iontophoresis, etc.
- Individual home exercise programs and self-treatment techniques
Treatment sessions vary from 30 minutes to two hours based on medical necessity. During treatment sessions, we help patients develop internal management of their problems through individualized home exercise programs and self-treatment techniques.

Communication
We're here to help you!
We work with the entire healthcare community, including area physicians, chiropractors, nurse practitioners, podiatrists, dentists, athletic trainers, insurance companies, and colleagues. We have developed beneficial relationships with these professionals as well. Because of these relationships, the patients' best interest is the center of care.
If the patient is not progressing or is showing signs of regression, our therapists are always available to speak with referral sources to decide if further testing, changes in the treatment plan, or discharge is necessary. These immediate actions save both the patient and the insurance company unnecessary medical expenses.
