Fitmax Aquatic Therapy Exercise Walker

Product Description Aquatic therapy or pool therapy consists of an exercise program that is performed in the water. It is a beneficial form of therapy that is useful for a variety of medical conditions. Aquatic therapy uses the physical properties of water to assist in patient healing and exercise performance. The walker legs are attached with Stainless Steel Ball Bearings. Amazon.com Designed exclusively for the iPool above-ground exercise pool, the FitMax aquatic exercise walker is a terrific therapy tool for individuals and medical clinics. Aquatic therapy offers several benefits over other forms of treatment: it decreases the amount of weight that a patient has to bear, thus reducing the stress placed on the joints; it provides an excellent source of resistance; and it diminishes swelling. As a result, aquatic therapy is especially useful for patients with arthritis, people who are hoping to heal fractured bones, or folks who are battling obesity. The walker works by submerging your legs entirely in water, which gives you the necessary buoyancy and resistance to strengthen your muscle groups while still being sensitive to your injury. The water's hydrostatic pressure, meanwhile, also helps improve your exercise technique, as you're able to better feel the position of your joints during each movement. Finally, the water's warmth helps relax your muscles and vasodilate vessels, thereby increasing the blood flow to your injured areas. Put it all together and there's no better way to treat an injury or increase your strength without risking further damage. The aquatic walker is made of rust-resistant stainless steel, with stainless-steel bearings in the leg attachments. And at 33 by 44 by 32 inches (W x H x D), it won't take up a ton of space whether in your pool or on the deck. The walker offers a weight capacity of 300 pounds and carries a one-year warranty.
