but walking on land hurts your joints and you fear falling?
Feel more relaxed and comfortable than exercising on land.
Who is the Hydrotherapy Pool Suitable For?
Knee Osteoarthritis
Exercise without joint pain
Knees, hips recover faster and safely
Overweight
Train longer without heavy joint load
Practice walking and balancing safely in water
Elderly
Move freely without fear of falling
Chronic Back Pain
Warm water relaxes muscles
Why is Training in a Warm Pool Effective?
Water supports 50-90% of body weight, reducing pressure on knees, hips, and spine. Train without pain.
Water creates omnidirectional resistance, gently strengthening muscles without lifting weights.
Water supports you when you stumble, reducing fall risk. Walk and balance with confidence.
Relaxes muscles, increases blood circulation, reduces pain and spasms. Feels comfortable.
What Is Hydrotherapy — How Water Therapy Differs from Ordinary Pool Exercise
Many people assume hydrotherapy simply means getting into a swimming pool. In practice the goal, the water temperature and the supervision are all different. Here is what to know before you decide.
Both terms describe rehabilitation carried out in water under the supervision of a physiotherapist, which is different from swimming or aqua aerobics as general fitness activities.
Ordinary water exercise is designed for people who are already fit. Aquatic physical therapy prescribes individual movements based on each patient's limitations, with a physiotherapist in the pool at every session.
Our hydrotherapy pool is kept warm to relax muscles and reduce spasticity. A standard-temperature swimming pool cannot do this and may make spasticity worse.
Water supports up to roughly 80-90 percent of body weight, so patients who feel pain bearing weight on land can begin gait training earlier and more safely.
Knee Osteoarthritis and Knee Pain — How Aquatic Therapy Helps
People with knee osteoarthritis are often caught in the same cycle: pain leads to less movement, less movement weakens the muscles around the knee, and the joint then carries load even less well. Training in water breaks that cycle.
Buoyancy greatly reduces compressive load on the knee, allowing people with osteoarthritis to walk and bend the knee without the pain they feel on land.
Water resistance strengthens the thigh muscles that absorb load in place of the joint itself. As those muscles strengthen, pain usually decreases.
People with knee osteoarthritis who wish to avoid surgery, patients recovering after knee replacement, and older adults whose knee pain has made them afraid to walk.
A physiotherapist measures range of motion and muscle strength before designing an individual knee programme, rather than applying one standard routine to everyone.
Backed by Global Research
PMC Medical Research
Patients reported a 50% pain reduction after hydrotherapy, with significant mobility improvement.
HydroWorx Study
Knee osteoarthritis pain reduced by 24% more than traditional physical therapy, with improved TUG Test results.
Cochrane Review
Aquatic exercise helps reduce pain, improve function, and quality of life for knees and hips.
Parkinson's Study
Patients undergoing hydrotherapy showed significant improvements in Berg Balance Scale and UPDRS.
Atmosphere of KIN Bearing Hydrotherapy Pool
Besides the hydrotherapy pool at Bearing, KIN also offers an Aquatic Treadmill at the Lat Phrao 71 branch as an alternative. We are the first and only network in Thailand to offer both options.
