Underwater Treadmill

Underwater treadmills are used in water-based rehabilitation because they provide a low-impact, yet effective way for patients to exercise. The buoyancy of the water reduces stress on the joints, which makes it an ideal option for patients with injuries or mobility issues. Additionally, the resistance of the water can provide a challenging workout for patients, which can help to improve strength and endurance. The speed and resistance can be adjusted to provide a customised workout for each patient.

Underwater treadmills can be used for a wide range of conditions such as post-operative, orthopedic and neurologic conditions, as well as for sports training and fitness. They can also be used as a gait training tool for patients with neurological conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury and brain injury. They can also be used to help build endurance, strength, and balance in athletes.

Benefits of Underwater Treadmill

• Provides an excellent combination of weight bearing reduction and walking exercises to mobilize otherwise stiff or injured joints.
• Treat obesity with minimal impact.
• Strict walking rhythm has added value in neurology.
• Patients can begin underwater walking exercises almost immediately.
