Underwater Treadmill Systems – Ideal for Therapists
The underwater treadmill system is ideal for therapists and also for sports clinics who are working with patients who will benefit from a therapeutic workout while partially submerged in a pool or with an underwater treadmill. These treadmills have a patient resting area for those who need a quick rest. These treadmill systems come with clear doors and viewing windows for the therapist to observe the patient undergoing a submerged workout. The therapist is able to observe and make adjustments as required based on the progress that the patient is making on the treadmill while submerged in the water.
The underwater treadmill system comes with fast filling and temperature control to ensure that the patient does not experience any discomfort while they are submerged or waiting for the treadmill to submerge. The extra resistance of the water provides a more complete exercise for the patients while at the same time providing some buoyancy. On some of the submerged treadmill models there are whirlpool jets and workout jets that will provide additional therapeutic support. These systems usually or often fill within a few minutes and the water can be heated at the same time.
Some of these treadmills, in addition to being submerged are also reversible. The treadmills can be reversed to provide the patient with a backward motion in addition to the regular forward motion workout while underwater. Users can try different exercise levels providing various levels of difficulty while on the treadmill. The therapist can tailor the program for the patient to ensure that they not only receive the correct benefits, they will also receive the best exercise while using the submerged treadmill.
