Advanced Hydrotherapy for Accelerated Recovery

At Leading Edge Physiotherapy, we believe that healing should be proactive, personalized, and powered by the best technology available. That’s why we’ve integrated the SwimEx 1000 T hydrotherapy pool—a world-class aquatic therapy system trusted by elite professional sports teams, rehabilitation hospitals, and leading physiotherapy clinics across North America.

Why SwimEx?

SwimEx pools are engineered with a unique paddlewheel water current system that delivers a smooth, laminar flow—creating a consistent resistance environment ideal for rehabilitation. Unlike jetted systems, SwimEx allows for precise control of water speed and direction, enabling clinicians to tailor treatment to each patient’s functional level and recovery goals.

Clinical Benefits of Aquatic Therapy

Aquatic therapy in the SwimEx pool offers a range of evidence-based benefits for patients recovering from:

  • Orthopedic injuries (ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, joint replacements)
  • Neurological conditions (stroke, MS, Parkinson’s)
  • Chronic pain syndromes (fibromyalgia, arthritis)
  • Post-surgical rehabilitation
  • Sports-related injuries

Key therapeutic advantages include:

  • Reduced joint loading: Buoyancy decreases gravitational forces, allowing for early mobilization and pain-free movement.
  • Controlled resistance: Adjustable currents promote muscle activation, cardiovascular conditioning, and neuromuscular re-education.
  • Enhanced circulation and healing: Warm water immersion improves blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates tissue repair.
  • Improved balance and proprioception: The dynamic aquatic environment challenges stability in a safe, supportive setting.

Trusted by the Pros

SwimEx technology is used by top-tier organizations including the New England Patriots, Toronto Blue Jays, and Cleveland Clinic—because when performance and recovery matter most, precision matters. At Leading Edge, we bring that same level of care to every patient, whether you’re a weekend warrior, a post-op patient, or someone simply seeking to move better and feel stronger.

What to Expect

Your aquatic therapy session will be guided by a licensed physiotherapist trained in hydrotherapy protocols. We’ll assess your condition, set goals, and design a customized program that leverages the SwimEx pool’s capabilities to maximize your recovery.

Sessions may include:

  • Gait training and balance exercises
  • Resistance-based strengthening
  • Cardiovascular conditioning
  • Range-of-motion and flexibility work
  • Sport-specific movement retraining

Ready to Dive In?

Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or preparing for a return to sport, our SwimEx pool offers a safe, effective, and empowering path forward.

So much more to learn about...

SwimEx uses a paddlewheel-driven laminar flow system, unlike traditional jet-based pools. This creates a smooth, consistent water current across the entire width of the pool, allowing for:

  • Precise resistance control from 0 to 99 speeds
  • Uniform flow that supports symmetrical movement and gait retraining
  • Safe progression from passive to active rehab phases

This technology is trusted by elite organizations like the New England Patriots and Cleveland Clinic for its unmatched therapeutic versatility.

Water immersion changes the physics of movement. Here’s how:

  • Buoyancy reduces joint loading by up to 90%, allowing early mobilization post-injury or surgery
  • Hydrostatic pressure improves circulation, reduces swelling, and enhances proprioception
  • Viscosity provides natural resistance, promoting muscle activation without overloading tissues
  • Thermal properties (warm water) relax muscles and increase tissue extensibility

These principles are backed by research in orthopedic, neurological, and sports medicine rehabilitation.

Patients recovering from ACL repairs, joint replacements, or chronic conditions like arthritis benefit from:

  • Pain-free gait training in a gravity-reduced environment
  • Improved balance and coordination through dynamic water challenges
  • Accelerated healing with reduced inflammation and improved range of motion
  • Sport-specific retraining with adjustable current speeds to mimic real-world movement

Aquatic therapy helps bridge the gap between early rehab and full return to activity.

Aquatic Therapy: Benefits and Applications in Physiotherapy (2024)
A comprehensive review by Patil et al. (2024) highlights the physiological principles that make aquatic therapy effective—buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, viscosity, and thermal properties. The study emphasizes its benefits across musculoskeletal, neurological, and cardiopulmonary conditions, with techniques like Tai Chi, Aqua Running, and the Bad Ragaz Ring Method showing improvements in pain management, functional capacity, and quality of life. The authors advocate for broader adoption in clinical settings and call for continued innovation in aquatic rehabilitation technologies.

Effectiveness of Aquatic Therapy for Musculoskeletal Conditions: A Systematic Review (2025)
Park & Kim (2025) conducted a systematic review comparing aquatic therapy to land-based rehabilitation for osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal injuries. While both modalities showed benefits, aquatic therapy offered unique advantages in early-stage recovery due to reduced joint loading and improved comfort. The authors note variability in outcomes and recommend individualized treatment plans based on patient needs.

Integrating Aquatic Therapy with Advanced Rehabilitation Technologies (2024)
Salgado-Gomes-Sagaz et al. (2024) explored the integration of aquatic therapy with exoskeletons and virtual reality to enhance rehabilitation outcomes. Their findings show that combining hydrotherapy with robotic support and smart controllers (PID and fuzzy logic systems) improves movement precision and recovery speed, especially in neurological and orthopedic cases.
