HYDROWORX: THE BEST OF AQUATIC THERAPY Underwater Treadmill for Accelerated Rehabilitation
If you have to undergo physical therapy, you may want to consider aquatic or water therapy. Water therapy is often a better alternative for people who struggle with standard therapy due to aching joints, stiff muscles, or any other gravity-induced problem. Many of the obstacles encountered during standard PT can be overcome by warm water. It can relax your body, and the weightlessness will reduce the toll gravity takes on your body. Aquatic physical therapy offers many benefits. It reduces stress, relaxes muscles, protects your joints during exercise, accelerates rehabilitation, increases circulation, and improves your gait. At Premier Rehab Physical Therapy, we understand how much aquatic therapy can help. That’s why we provide the HydroWorx 500 Rehabilitation Pool to our patients. The pool is designed specifically for aquatic rehab and exercise. Unique in the area, these
pools are used for professional rehabilitation and training by sports organizations such as the Dallas Mavericks and universities such as Texas Tech, Texas A&M, and the University of Texas. The 2,500-gallon HydroWorx 500 is 7.5 feet wide and 14 feet long. It has an underwater treadmill with a cushioned treadmill surface, which has the ideal traction for gait training, sports activities, and therapeutic benefits. It also has variable water depth for different physical therapy weight-bearing statuses and resistive water jets for increased resistance and deep-tissue massages. The pool is even equipped with underwater cameras for video monitoring and gait analysis. Don’t hesitate to take the next steps for your recovery.
