This is a particularly effective and comfy way for patients to rehabilitate from the sports injury.

Namely, water temperature is hotter compared to average swimming pool, with temperatures around 35 degrees standard to allow patients’ muscles to unwind and promote movement. Water in the pool is warm, and it is maintained at 33-37°C.

Hydrotherapy pools are usually not the same as ordinary pools - the temperature, pressure and movement water is controlled and changed based on who's using the pool, and why.
