Aquatuc Therapy
Benefits of an underwater treadmill
Our aquatic treadmill smoothly accelerates from .1 up to 6 miles per hour and allows the user to correctly simulate land-based walking, running or sports-specific activities but without the bodyweight and joint impact an individual experiences on land. There are many benefits of using an underwater treadmill, some of which include:
Buoyancy
Water has a natural buoyancy for flotation and reduces gravity on aching muscles and joints. There is less pain when you exercise in water.
Pain relief
Pain relief is certainly the most obvious benefit of aquatic therapy! The warm water provides relief for arthritis, chronic pain, and orthopedic injuries.
Hydrostatic Pressure
With its hydrostatic pressure, you are supported and don't have to fear falling.
Relaxation
Water provides a soothing and relaxing environment for aching muscles and joints.
Improved breathing
The respiratory muscles are forced to work harder during aquatic therapy, which helps you breathe better..
Resistance
Its natural resistance can be used to increase the rehabilitation process and strengthens muscles.
