Frequently Asked Questions

In the context of Hydro Physio’s products, underwater treadmills promote ‘health and wellbeing’ by encouraging low-impact, low-stress, and a therapeutic form of exercise that supports overall physical health, mobility, circulation and overall fitness. Underwater treadmills are not just exclusive to clients in need of rehabilitation or post-trauma care, but instead cater to a wide range of clients, helping to improve overall muscle strength, develop a wider range of movement, improve flexibility, and cultivate a positive mind-body relationship.

Aquatic treadmills offer a low-intensity, therapeutic service that suits clients of any age and ability. With a focus on overall health and wellbeing, aquatic exercise is an effective solution for a range of individuals, including:

  • People experiencing joint pain, chronic joint issues or stiffness
  • Older adults looking to improve overall mobility, balance and confidence
  • Individuals recovering from trauma or post-surgery
  • People wanting to improve cardiovascular health
  • Those in need of safe and supportive workout environments

Underwater treadmills greatly vary from land-based exercise equipment due to the natural buoyancy of water, creating a softer, less stressful environment for the body. Other key differences are:

  • Whole-body engagement (water’s natural resistance works the muscles in a myriad of directions, engaging a higher number of muscles overall, contributing to better overall health)
  • Comfort and safety (the combination of the warmth and lightweight nature of water creates a relaxing and gentle environment that can reduce fear of falling and increase confidence in mobility)
  • Adaptability (training intensity can be adjusted and customised to the needs of the patient, including water depth, speed, intensity and session duration)

Clinics and centres that are interested in acquiring a new underwater treadmill should certainly consider:

  • Space and access (ensuring the treadmill is situated in a well-ventilated, easy-to-access location with ample available access around the unit)
  • Water treatment and hygiene protocols (including correct filtration, water drainage, and heating systems in place)
  • Staff training (making sure all operators are fully-trained and familiarised with the machine’s functions)
  • Additional services (be sure to consider what new services will be available once the treadmill is installed, and what clients you desire to cater to)

Aside from improved fitness and wellbeing for your service users, underwater treadmills can also deliver several business advantages, including:

  • Standing out in the industry (offering a service that stands out from standard treadmills will set you apart from other clinics and centres)
  • A niche client base (offering services that cater to specific needs of individuals, including athletes, older adults and rehabilitation, not only expands your client base but also offers a unique service that may not be found locally)
  • Additional revenue streams (by acquiring a new underwater treadmill, you’ll be expanding the inventory of your services, attracting new clients and generating higher revenue)

Yes, there are certain considerations when assessing the use of underwater treadmills, these include:

  • Pre-exercise screening (clients with certain medical conditions such as open wounds, unmedicated epilepsy, and cardiac conditions should be thoroughly screened and advised appropriately before using any underwater treadmill)
  • Supervision (clients who experience more mobility issues or require intense rehabilitation will require fully-present supervision by a member of staff)
  • Hydration and temperature sensitivity (even in warm water, clients should be fully hydrated and assessed for temperature tolerance)

The overall success or outcomes of the implementation of underwater treadmills can be assessed by observing functional outcomes (improvements in clients’ walking speed and mobility), using wellness indicators (enhanced mood, reduced pain etc), and participation metrics (session attendance and if the clients rebook and join new programmes).
