The role of water
Ways water can support therapy
Aqua Dynamics describes the following therapeutic benefits of aquatic exercise.
Buoyancy and movement
Water has a natural buoyancy for flotation and reduces gravity on aching muscles and joints. There is less pain when you exercise in water.
Natural resistance
Water's natural resistance can be used during rehabilitation exercises to strengthen muscles.
Support from the water
With its hydrostatic pressure, you are supported and don't have to fear falling.
Underwater treadmill
The Hydroworx unit includes an underwater treadmill for gait and endurance training.
Warm-water comfort
The warm water provides relief for arthritis, chronic pain, and orthopedic injuries. Water also provides a soothing and relaxing environment for aching muscles and joints.
Breath and movement
Respiratory muscles
The respiratory muscles are forced to work harder during aquatic therapy, which helps you breathe better.
Aqua Dynamics equipment
An above-ground aquatic unit and underwater treadmill
Hydroworx’s patented, integrated underwater treadmill is used in physical therapy, sports medicine, and conditioning.
The treadmill accelerates from 0.1 up to 6 miles per hour and allows users to simulate land-based walking, running, or sports-specific activities without the bodyweight and joint impact experienced on land.
Water temperature and depth can be customized for a personalized experience.
