Because it is nearly gravity-free, aquatic exercise is the preferred therapy for many medical conditions; thus an Endless Pool, can provide aquatic therapy at the ideal temperature and pace for your needs, in total privacy and at your own convenience.
The Endless Pool’s adjustable current allows for an easily monitored progression of exercises.
Leslie Krichko, a professional water therapist and trainer, advises “therapy in an Endless Pool actually helps people with injuries recover faster,” for several reasons:
- Water provides buoyancy and support for the body. When you are neck-deep in water, you only have to support 10% of your actual body  weight.
- In the pool, injured people can exercise with a greater range of motion without hurting joints or re-injuring themselves.
- The workout gets blood moving faster through the injured area, so it heals faster.
- Water pressure helps keep down the swelling that often accompanies injury.
- You can increase your physical fitness while you recuperate, so prolonged physical therapy just to get back in shape, may not be necessary.
Water therapy can also be of benefit for people with arthritis, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, asthma, and chronic joint or back pain.
The ability to set the water temperature cooler (i.e. for MS), or warmer (i.e. for arthritis), is another key advantage of the Endless Pool.
