therapy pools

Warm rehabilitation basins

Therapy pools are swimming pools designed specifically for physical rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise, or medical treatment.

They're typically kept warmer than recreational pools and may feature accessibility ramps, underwater treadmills, or adjustable depths.

Physical therapists use them for patients recovering from injuries or surgeries, as water reduces stress on joints while providing resistance: She does her exercises in the therapy pool three times a week.
