Modular pools particularly benefit clinics treating diverse populations: pediatric and geriatric clients, mixed neuro and orthopedic caseloads, and sports medicine. Separate zones with different depths and features allow simultaneous, goal‑specific sessions—deep, calm zones for early support; shallower, more dynamic zones with currents or treadmills for advanced balance and performance.

In practice
Modular pools allow therapists to “design” spaces around clinical needs. A deeper, quiet bay can host supported gait, early standing, or group sessions for frail or anxious patients. A shallower, equipment‑rich bay with an underwater treadmill and counter current can serve athletes or higher‑functioning orthopedic patients. (https://www.antisel-physio.gr/en/modular-pool/)
For neurorehab, you can use one segment for basic postural control and another for more challenging balance tasks, reducing collisions and distractions. Paediatric and geriatric therapies can share the same physical structure but use different depths, entry systems, and environmental stimuli, optimizing safety and engagement for each group.
