LIVE YOUR LIFE AGAIN!

Bella Rose Rehabilitation & Aquatic Center is a state of the art traditional and aquatic out patient therapy facility located between Lake City & Cadillac in beautiful northern Michigan. The facility is approximately 10,200 square feet, including a specialized therapy pool and many different types of equipment that allow us to offer the most up-to-date technologies and techniques. We offer traditional and aquatic rehabilitation therapy for brain and spinal cord injuries, as well as all types of therapy. Our clients range from children all the way up to and including geriatrics.

AQUATIC THERAPY
Our individual infinity therapy pods feature underwater cameras so physicians can track and review the progress of each individual client. The pools are kept at a warm 89 degrees and the ambient air in the pool area is set at 90 degrees for maximum comfort.
Aquatic exercise reduces pain and increased flexibility, as the water supports and massages the body as you exercise. You get all of the benefits of land exercise, such as reducing blood pressure and burning calories, but without the stress on joints, risk of injury or the sweat! We utilize the latest aquatic therapy equipment available, such as underwater treadmills, bikes & resistance building tools.

TRADITIONAL THERAPY
Using our private assessment and therapy rooms, our physical, occupational & speech therapists focus on identifying and maximizing quality of life and movement potential within the spheres of promotion, prevention, diagnosis, treatment/intervention and rehabilitation. This encompasses physical, psychological, emotional and also their social well-being.

We promote a culture of healing with our client focused approach to care. In addition to our therapists, our staff also includes an ACSM Certified Health Fitness Specialist, Certified Intrinsic Coach, and a Pilates and ZUMBA Instructor.
