The SmartPools® Hydrotherapy Revolution
What Is Hydrotherapy?
- Buoyancy: The buoyancy of the water lessens the impact of gravity, making you feel lighter. This eases strain on joints and muscles, providing a gentle exercise option for physically impaired patients.
- Hydrostatic Pressure: Water applies a force called hydrostatic pressure on the body. which increases blood circulation on the applied area. This reduces swelling and aches – and improves cardiovascular function.
- Temperature: Warm water boosts muscle relaxation, blood flow, and joint flexibility, while cold water reduces inflammation and numbs localized pain.
SmartPools® specializes in cross-current hydrotherapy thanks to its unique LAPS technology. Unlike traditional waterjet systems, LAPS moves up to 30,000 liters of water per minute, delivering a fully adjustable, smooth, and silent flow. Its 7.5 horsepower motor ensures a non-turbulent, bubble-free experience. The dynamic, river-like flow it creates offers resistance to your natural movement, allowing you to swim, run, or walk while remaining in one place. This turns the SmartPool® into a buoyant space for patients to introduce mobility practice earlier in their rehabilitation process than usual, as they’re able to move continuously without exerting pain or stress onto their impaired joints and muscles.

There are many benefits of using SmartPools® LAPS technology for hydrotherapy:
- pain-free early mobility during rehabilitation
- enables continuous motion that is easy on joints
- safe environment to regain balance and posture while moving
- continuous motion enhances cardiovascular stamina
- current targets and massages stress-prone areas
- current stimulates blood flow to affected areas
- enables physically impaired patients to gently engage in high-intensity exercise
- resistance to current develops muscle strength and ability
- adjustable current allows for convenient personalization and variance for patient’s unique abilities and requirements
Hydrotherapy: Fitness Beyond Limits
High-intensity exercise in hydrotherapy is a practice becoming increasingly associated with positive improvements in patients' capabilities, and through its buoyant environment, our pools uniquely extend the benefits of our signature two-in-one work to individuals with physical impairments, fostering a gentle environment that is sensitive to the distinct challenges presented by physical disabilities. With a SmartPool, everybody can enjoy a healthy fitness routine.
Over the years, we've developed a track record of excellence, earning the trust of premier hydrotherapy centers worldwide. These centers have incorporated SmartPools into their routine hydrotherapy sessions for the cutting-edge capabilities our LAPS technology affords them and their patients on a daily basis.
