How it works
An underwater treadmill is pretty simple – but can produce simply brilliant results! It uses the properties of water to help the rehabilitation process in four key ways:
Resistance to assist in restoring muscle strength (variable by speed)
Buoyancy reducing the impact on degenerative joints and supporting sore or weak patients (variable by water height)
Controlled temperature where warmth improves circulation and aids relaxation (reducing muscle and joint pain)
Hydrostatic pressure improving circulation and reducing swelling (aiding the healing process)
