Underwater Treadmill (UWT)

Getting back to life.

Our UWT has advanced features such as an incline and multiple jets for increased resistance or therapy, as well as an advanced UV filtration system for sanitary hydrotherapy while reducing chemicals.

Walking in our underwater treadmill is fun, safe and easy.

  • Walking in an underwater treadmill allows active muscle contraction with minimal weight bearing on joints and bones.
  • 62 – 65% of body weight is supported depending on water height allowing patients easing strain on joints.
  • Patients that have weak muscle groups or decrease weight bearing are able to ambulate better.

  • Moving through the water creates more turbulence which creates greater resistance to movement. The increased resistance encourages an increase in active range of motion.
  • Cardiac and peripheral muscle may be strengthened.
