Pre-assembled pools designed to be filled with water, which are intended for performing exercises in a water environment for therapeutic purposes (hydrotherapy). These pools typically consist of a large container that usually has sections with different and/or variable depths; they may provide a steady water flow that can be adjusted to several different speeds. The pools are usually large enough to permit swimming and the performance of other physical exercise such as underwater walking; some pools include an angled platform, exercise benches, water jet massage, and/or a treadmill appropriate for underwater use. Hydrotherapy pools are used mainly during physical therapy (e.g., arthritis treatment) and rehabilitation procedures.
