About TriCounty Therapy
Tri-County Therapy is excited to provide Aquatic Therapy services to Charleston and surrounding areas!
Aquatic Therapy is physical or occupational therapy that takes place in a pool. Therapy in the pool allows our therapists to perform low impact exercises to regain strength and flexibility. We are also able to improve body awareness, sensory integration, motor planning, reflex integration, and muscle movement. Aquatic Therapy is provided individually with a licensed and trained occupational or physical therapist. We also offer aquatic therapy in groups, meaning your child will be individually treated, while paired with another child to increase communication, as well as provide peer motivation. Most children with a developmental delay, sensory processing disorder, muscular disorder, or neuro-developmental disorder can benefit from Aquatic Therapy!
Tri-County Therapy offers pediatric speech, occupational and physical therapy services in local preschools, day cares, and private schools. Tri-County Therapy also provides therapy services in the home setting for children receiving services through the BabyNet of South Carolina program. In addition to home and school based services, Tri-County Therapy also serves children in our outpatient offices.

The occupational therapy process includes an OT evaluation before care starts. Here are the four steps your family can expect when starting occupational therapy:

You’ll answer questions about you your skills, and you will most likely demonstrate these skills via hands-on activities with the therapist. Evaluations can last 30 minutes to a couple hours.
