Underwater treadmill

Our state of the art underwater treadmill allows us to tailor make every patients rehabilitation programme dependant on their needs. We can alter water levels and speed dependent on what joint we are targeting and our aims of the treatment plan. The sanitised water, kept between 30-32degrees offers a level of buoyancy which encourages weight bearing and increased range of movement through joints which patients may find difficult on land. Our experience and knowledge with our machine and the differing conditions that patients arrive with allow us to use different techniques depending on what we are trying to achieve. The glass sides on the underwater treadmill means we can assess patients whilst the resistance of the water highlights any problem areas. The controlled manner of the underwater treadmill enables us to see patients post op much quicker and therefore kick starts the rehabilitation process.
