The rise in spinal cord injuries is predicted to fuel the expansion of the hydrotherapy equipment market. Spinal cord injury, which involves damage to the spinal cord or the nerves situated at the spinal canal's end, usually results in alterations in strength, sensitivity, and other bodily functions. Hydrotherapy for spinal cord injury rehabilitation is renowned for being an effective method for enhancing balance, strength, and movement sequences, owing to its safety and appeal as a form of physical therapy when overseen by a professionally trained therapist. For example, in July 2022, the United Spinal Association, a US-based organization centered on disability rights and veterans services, noted that each year around 17,700 Americans suffer from a spinal cord injury, of which an estimated 78% are males. As a result, the prevalence of spinal cord injuries is proving to be a significant driver for the growth of the hydrotherapy equipment market.
