Resistance / Therapy Jets
Resistance Therapy Jets:
Precision-Controlled Aquatic Resistance
Adjustable, directional jet systems that deliver progressive resistance for rehabilitation, athletic training, and recovery protocols across all patient and athlete populations.
How Resistance Jets Work
Programmable water resistance that adapts to any protocol or patient progression
HydroWorx resistance therapy jets deliver precisely controlled water flow with up to 200 adjustable speed settings and fully directional positioning. These jets create progressive resistance against the body's core, enabling clinicians to dial in exact resistance levels for assisted movement, active resistance training, interval conditioning, or therapeutic massage. The same system that challenges elite athletes during sprint training can gently assist post-operative patients with early range of motion exercises—all through simple speed and directional adjustments.
Dual Function Design
- Progressive resistance for strengthening and conditioning
- Therapeutic massage with attachable hose for soft tissue work
- Switch between resistance and massage mode instantly
- Target specific muscle groups or provide full-body resistance
Precision Control
- Up to 200 adjustable water speed settings for exact resistance levels
- Fully directional jets can be aimed at any body position
- Easy-to-use controls for real-time adjustments during sessions
- Create custom protocols saved for consistent patient progressions
Assisted Movement
Use water flow to assist patients with limited strength or mobility through range of motion exercises they couldn't perform on land
Active Resistance
Create opposition force for strength training, core stability work, and sport-specific movement patterns under load
Interval Training
Program high-intensity intervals by adjusting jet speed for cardiovascular conditioning without joint impact
Therapeutic Massage
Attach massage hose for targeted deep tissue work, lactic acid stripping, scar tissue manipulation, and pain management

Applications Across Markets
How resistance jets enhance outcomes in each setting
Rehabilitation & Physical Therapy
Primary Applications:
- Post-operative range of motion progression with assisted or resistive movement
- Neurological gait training with core stability challenges
- Chronic pain management through therapeutic massage and gentle resistance
- Scar tissue mobilization and soft tissue manipulation with massage hose
- Osteoarthritis treatment to improve joint angular velocity (research-proven)
Clinical Value:
- Earlier intervention with lower injury risk than land-based resistance
- Precise dose control allows safe progression through healing phases
- Dual function (resistance + massage) maximizes equipment utilization
- Creates billable therapeutic exercise and manual therapy opportunities
Athletic Performance & Training
Primary Applications:
- High-intensity interval training without joint impact or overuse risk
- Core stability and functional strength development
- Sport-specific movement patterns under progressive resistance
- Active recovery sessions between intense training days
- Pre-season conditioning to build base fitness safely
Clinical Value:
- Texas A&M research: Greater lean mass and strength gains than land-only training
- Reduced muscle soreness and inflammation versus land-based training
- Enables higher weekly training volume without injury accumulation
- Used by professional teams (Eagles, Padres, Maple Leafs) for competitive edge
Wellness & Senior Living
Primary Applications:
- Group fitness classes with adjustable intensity for mixed-ability participants
