underwater treadmill is revolutionizing physical therapy, sports medicine and conditioning. Exercises such as walking, retro-walking, sprinting, shuffling, back-pedaling and plyometric activities are easily performed . Utilizing warm water therapy as a medium to enhance rehabilitation and performance through water’s buoyancy, resistance and hydrostatic pressure, this advanced hydrotherapy system provides warm the ultimate rehabilitation advantage.

Features and Benefits –

1. VARIABLE SPEED UNDERWATER TREADMILL

The integrated water treadmill surface has a cushioned low-impact design with excellent traction

Treadmill speeds increase smoothly from 0.2 to 10 mph in safe .1 mph increments

Useful for gait training and sport specific activities

2. ADJUSTABLE WATER DEPTH FROM 1”-50”

Quickly add or remove water to attain pool depths ranging from 1″ to 50” with the touch of a button

Easily change water depth to challenge athletes or progress patients from water to land

3. RESISTANCE JET WITH THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE HOSE:

A resistance jet is essential for water therapy, rehabilitation, sports performance training, swimming or deep tissue massage

The jet has a wide range of water speeds and directional configurations

4. PROMOTES EARLY RANGE OF MOTION

Patients with joint and muscle pain may find relief with underwater treadmill therapy. Even though people with chronic conditions like osteoarthritis will often avoid activities such as walking and exercise, these activities can actually make some of the pain disappear.

5. INITIATES GAIT TRAINING IN A LOW IMPACT ENVIRONMENT

With underwater treadmill therapy, patients can undergo gait training without fear of falling. This helps aging patients feel more successful — and they are less likely to cancel underwater treadmill physical therapy sessions.

6. REPLICATES THE PROPER BIO-MECHANICS OF LAND-BASED MOVEMENTS TO IMPROVE GAIT PATTERNS

The underwater treadmill allows a more natural gait pattern to occur in the water as opposed to in a static pool. Those proper biomechanics that are created in the unweighted environment carry over to land movements.

7. IMPROVED CARDIOVASCULAR STAMINA

With underwater treadmill physical therapy, lengthier exercise durations are combined with the heightened resistance of the water. This generates greater cardiovascular endurance, which in turn boosts a patient’s on-ground physical stamina.

8. IMPACTS MUSCLE STRENGTHENING

When a person runs on an underwater treadmill, his or her body undergoes greater exertion due to the viscosity of the water. This leads to greater hip, leg and foot strength, as well as improvements in core muscle groups throughout the body.

9. INCREASED HEALING AND STRENGTHENING OF INJURED TISSUE

The combination of relaxing water and exercise on an aquatic treadmill can aid the healing process of injured tissue. As a result, patients have experienced improvements in mobility and decreases in pain, which has led to increased awareness of underwater treadmill benefits.
