Core Function Highlights
  • Pain Relief and Muscle RelaxationWarm water and circulating bubbles provide a massage effect that may help relax tense muscles and ease chronic discomfort.
  • Joint-Mobility and Strength TrainingWater buoyancy reduces load on the limbs, allowing active or passive joint movement and strength training in a lower-impact environment.
  • Wound Cleansing SupportWater flow can mechanically remove loose necrotic tissue and debris from a wound as part of a cleansing or debridement process.
