After any type of setback or surgery, increasing mobility is a top priority. HydroWorx’s cutting edge technology allows sports professionals to prescribe a myriad of exercises at varying intensity levels, promoting extensive, pain-free joint movement and strengthening. Rehabilitation and performance training can begin significantly sooner than on land with HydroWorx.
What’s more, customers have found that athletes enjoy the time they spend in the HydroWorx rehab pool; this creates a positive mindset, conducive to healing. By combining HydroWorx technology with the buoyancy of water, your athletes will experience an ideal supplement to dry land training or the ultimate workout routine when injured.
Our underwater treadmill and resistance jets give athletes an intense cardiovascular workout which pushes heart rate into and above target zones and lactic acid threshold levels. The HydroWorx underwater treadmill can go from 0 to 8.5 mph in .2 mph increments. This lets you customize the underwater treadmill to various training speeds and difficulty levels with a touch of a button.
After a hard workout, ease sore aching muscles with our five or fifteen-foot attachable massage hoses. A deep penetrating hydro massage will decrease lactic acid build-up. The massage also aids in muscle relaxation, scar tissue manipulation, myofascial release and can decrease your athletes recovery period significantly.
Excellent for conditioning and improved stamina. Aquatic exercise in a HydroWorx pool is a perfect supplement to a land based workout. Increasing the resistance of the therapy jets and the treadmill speed allows you to create an interval routine or exercise program sure to challenge the most conditioned athlete. All in an environment that radically minimizes their bodyweight and residual joint pounding.
Create the most advanced training environment for your athletes by controlling the water depth and buoyancy levels at which they are exercising. With the HydroWorx adjustable floor, the entire pool floor is fully adjustable in height allowing your athletes to instantly and safely enter the water with no steps or ladders. With a touch of a button you can submerge your athletes from 0 to 6 feet within 30 seconds and strategically unload them.
Sarah Mercer arrived at ACCUA in Savage, MN, with compression fractures in her mid-back. She had been hit by a car 3 weeks prior to the Ironman in Hawaii and still finished the race; but she paid the price and needed un-weighted therapy and conditioning. Sarah immediately loved the fact that running in the HydroWorx 1000 actually felt like ground-based running. She continues to include aquatic exercise in her training today, whether she’s banged up from endless miles on the road or not.
