The buoyancy of water reduces stress on the joints and helps to support body weight, making movement easier. Water also offers resistance, enabling patients to strengthen their muscles without using weights. In addition, water can decrease swelling, help muscles relax and improve blood flow.

· The therapy pool floor lowers into the water, so patients don’t need to use a ramp or lift to get in, and therapists can set an ideal depth for each patient.
· The floor can function as a treadmill, when needed.
· Underwater cameras help therapists observe and evaluate patients’ movements.
· Adjustable jets change the level of resistance the surrounding water creates as patients work on aquatic therapy exercises.
