Help Your Patients
Break the Pain Cycle

You know how it goes. Pain stops movement. Less movement means more pain. More pain means less compliance. And patients who stop moving between visits don't get better — they come back to you worse.

Aquatic therapy breaks that cycle. Chest-deep water offloads up to 75% of body weight, giving patients a place to move that doesn't hurt — between visits, every day, at home. What you start in the clinic keeps going. TheraTank ships directly to their door. Setup takes under an hour. Your protocol doesn't stop when they leave your office, or when their visits run out.

Built to support your care, not replace it. Use TheraTank to reinforce your plan between sessions and give patients a home program to keep progressing after discharge.

Patients Who Benefit Most

The science is clear. Here are just some of the research-backed benefits of aquatic therapy across the conditions you see every day.

Chronic Back Pain & Spinal Conditions

Patients with chronic low back pain were 6.6x more likely to achieve meaningful pain relief with aquatic therapy than standard physical therapy — and results held at 12 months. Disability reduction: 46.4% vs. 7%.
Peng et al. (2022), JAMA Network Open

Obesity & Weight-Bearing Limitations

Submerged to chest depth, the body offloads approximately 75% of its weight — reducing joint load to a level that makes sustained cardiovascular exercise possible for patients who cannot tolerate land-based activity.

Chronic Pain & Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia patients who completed aquatic therapy reported half the pain of those who did land-based therapy — even six weeks after treatment ended. Pain scores: 2.7 vs. 5.5.
Rivas Neira et al. (2024), Physiotherapy

Post-Surgical Recovery

Aquatic therapy provides a supportive and low-impact environment that can significantly aid in the recovery process, helping patients regain function and return to their daily activities.
Alrashedi et al. (2026), Healthcare

Neurological Rehabilitation

A 2025 review of 27 studies and more than 1,100 stroke survivors found that aquatic therapy significantly improved balance, walking speed, and fall risk. Water supports the body while you practice standing, stepping, and shifting your weight, so you can work on the movements that matter without fear of falling.
Gento-Andres et al. (2025), Arch. Rehabil. Res. Clin. Transl.

Athletic Injury Recovery

Aqua fitness training allows patients recovering from ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and stress fractures to maintain cardiovascular conditioning and muscle engagement while completely offloading healing tissue — zero ground impact.

Exercise Soreness & Recovery

If soreness keeps knocking you out of your routine, the problem may be the exercise, not you. On land, the lengthening (eccentric) phase of each movement causes the micro-tears behind delayed-onset muscle soreness. In water, drag replaces gravity as the resistance, which largely removes that eccentric load. You can work hard today and be ready for whatever tomorrow brings.

Balance & Fall Prevention

If fear of falling keeps you from training balance, water takes the risk out. Its viscosity slows every movement and buoyancy catches you if you lose your footing. You can challenge your balance and proprioception (your body's sense of where it is in space) further than you safely could on land, building the stability that keeps you upright out of the pool.

What's Included

Everything You Need to Get Set Up in Under an Hour.

One box. One afternoon. Everything included to get in the water.

✓

TheraTank Pool

Marine-grade drop-stitch PVC. 60" walls, 54" usable water depth. Rigid when inflated. 9'8" round — fits most backyards and garages.

✓

Electric Air Pump

High-pressure electric pump does all the inflating for you. One person. No tools. No help needed.

✓

2,300 GPH Sand Filter + Pump

With built-in skimmer. Most pool companies ship a small paper-cartridge filter that couldn’t keep a kiddie pool clean, and you’re tossing cartridges every few weeks. We refused to add to that waste, so we include a 2,300 GPH sand filter instead. No cartridge waste, no constant replacements. Sand lasts up to 5 years: fill it once, and there’s nothing else to buy for years.

✓

Ladder + Cover

Sturdy step-over ladder with a 300 lb weight-rated top platform, plus a cover that keeps debris out and helps retain water temperature between sessions.

TheraTank kit: pool, electric air pump, cover, ladder, sand filter pump and repair kit
