... Why Water ...
Water offers approximately 10 times more resistance to motion than air. This supportive
environment boosts user confidence and promotes slower, more deliberate movements,
which aids monitoring and analysis.
Typically, users of HYDRO PHYSIO aquatic treadmills, exercising waist deep in water,
experience around 50% reduction in effective body weight; this can be particularly
helpful during rehabilitation and exercise.
