Aqua Therapy & Underwater Treadmill

Pain control and muscle relaxation due to warmth 92 degrees
Buoyancy of water unloads the joints which decreases pain, increases range of motion, and improves balance and postural awareness.
Decreases muscle tone and muscle spasms; an ideal environment for improving flexibility
Early gait/walking training begins post op with less weight bearing, balance activities and training in safe environment
Reduces the risk and fear of falling
Hydrostatic pressure reduces swelling, improves lung capacity, improves cardiac output, and improves circulation which aides in healing
Resistive properties and turbulence improve strength and endurance
Improved mood and mental outlook, decreases stress, insomnia, depression, anger, and anxiety
Increases patient compliance and patient satisfaction
Rehab starts sooner and recovery is faster after injury/surgery

Underwater treadmill running and massage hose:

Water provides low-impact and low weight bearing which minimizes risk of injury or undue stress. The weight of a human body is reduced up to 90 percent, depending upon the depth of the water. This means a 150-pound person carries as little as 15 lbs. when submerged.
Water's hydrostatic pressure affects the muscles of inspiration (breathing), improves lung capacity, and improves cardiopulmonary conditioning.
Variable speed underwater treadmill with directional jets adds resistance to improve posture, endurance, and stability.
Additionally, all HydroWorx pools come with a deep tissue massage hose to deliver a soothing post-session cool down that strips away lactic acid, resulting in decreased soreness.
Underwater video camera allows patients to observe and correct posture and improve gait pattern.
