Underwater Treadmill

Do you want to try an underwater treadmill in the Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill area outside of a physical therapy clinic or college athletic training room? Supplement rehabilitation, relieve chronic pain, improve mobility or cognition, regain balance, and increase muscle mass and strength in both the lower and upper body – all with minimal risk of injury.

The HydroWorx Underwater Treadmill offers both assistance and resistance. Being immersed in water assists by offloading your body weight and reducing pressure and impact on your ankles, knees, hips, and back. It also provides constant, uniform resistance, allowing you to get more of a workout from a simple movement like walking!

Exercise your body and your brain! Know someone struggling with a neurological disorder (dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, etc.) or cognitive decline? Water stimulates blood flow to the brain, which can improve brain function and help the elderly age in place!

The speed of the cushioned treadmill ranges from .2 to 6 mph and can be increased or decreased smoothly. You can also exercise in the water without the treadmill moving depending on your personal condition and goals! Water depth is adjustable up to 50 inches. Higher depth means more body weight is offloaded. Resistance jets can be set at various speeds and directions to ensure proper resistance, while support bars provide added safety. We offer 30, 45 or 60 minute sessions.
