• I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dorothy and the impact they’ve had on my recovery. From the very first session, she made me feel supported, encouraged, and truly cared for. Aquatic therapy with her has been a game-changer. Not only has it helped me gain strength and mobility, but it’s also given me a sense of freedom and confidence that I thought I’d lost. Dorothy has this amazing way of making every session feel less like therapy and more like an uplifting experience. Their kindness and dedication shine through in everything they do. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side on this journey and would recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who truly puts their heart into their work.

  • After being a victim of a hit-and-run accident, I found myself facing a long, challenging rehabilitation process. My injuries were significant, and the road to recovery seemed daunting. However, aquatic therapy proved to be a crucial part of my healing journey. For almost a year, I worked with a skilled team of professionals who guided me through a variety of water-based exercises tailored to my specific needs. The buoyancy of the water reduced the strain on my injured body, allowing me to move with less pain and more freedom than I could on land. This made it possible to gradually regain strength and mobility in areas that were too painful or difficult to target through traditional physical therapy. The resistance of the water also provided an excellent way to build muscle and endurance without risking further injury. Aquatic therapy helped me regain confidence in my body as I saw gradual improvements. Each session brought more range of motion, less discomfort, and a deeper sense of independence. The unique environment of the pool allowed me to push myself in ways I couldn’t have on land, and the therapeutic effects of the water became essential to my progress. Looking back, I can honestly say that without aquatic therapy, my recovery would have been far slower, and more painful. It played a vital role in helping me heal both physically and mentally, and I’m incredibly grateful for the progress I made through this innovative treatment.

  • We write this note with great appreciation and respect for you, and all your efforts in our recovery journey from a spinal cord injury. After an accident in a Florida airport left me as a Quadriplegic with no movement below the neck, we never realized the challenges that were to come. After emergency spinal cord surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital, rehab had soon after begun. Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy soon combined with Aqua Therapy. This is when we were introduced to a wonderful personality and dynamic practitioner Dorothy Campbell. Aqua therapy was integral to my recovery, working on balance, walking, and different exercise movements in the buoyancy of the water is what really helped. Dorothy, thank you for bringing all your gear and equipment and allowing us to use your pool, contacts, and lift chairs at the pools. The recovery continues with many thanks for all your efforts and dedication, as we worked together to help me get home and restart living our lives with this disability. Currently I walk with a walker and drive myself to work at my same old desk! Dorothy, thank you again for your role in my recovery.

  • I had the pleasure of working with Dorothy during my spinal cord injury recovery at the Jackson Memorial Hospital pool. Her patience, kindness, and expertise made a world of difference in my journey. Dorothy answered all my questions with care and ensured I fully understood every step of the process. When I asked for an additional workout plan to follow on my own, she went above and beyond to create an individualized plan tailored to my specific needs and limitations. Each session with Dorothy was both challenging and enjoyable—she brought great music, laughter, and encouragement to every workout. Thanks to her guidance and positive energy, I felt empowered to push myself while still feeling supported. I wholeheartedly recommend Dorothy to anyone seeking compassionate, skilled, and personalized care in their recovery. Keep in touch,

  • First my apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Please see my first draft below and let me know where we can add or subtract. I am so grateful for Dorothy and the pool therapy I received while I was recovering from my accident. As a T10, I had very little core strength and poor sitting balance. The pool was tremendously helpful in expediting my recovery and Dorothy made it fun and targeted to what I needed. I could see every week improvement in my functional mobility such as transfers getting easier and upper body strength increasing. Dorothy had to reteach me how to swim, which was the toughest part, but not only did that give me confidence to go back into my water sports and activities, but it increased my endurance significantly. I can't thank her enough for her patience, kindness and professionalism. I'm sending the picture from my phone. Thanks,
