Aquatic Rehabilitation & Fitness Products
Aging baby boomers, the single largest demographic consumer group in history at 81 million, have discovered that water is an ideal enviroment for low stress excercise. Water exercise offers:
- Buoyancy takes the stress off joints, providing a safer medium for rehab and exercise.
- Due to its natural viscosity and hydrostatic pressure, water provides built-in progression since greater effort meets greater resistance.
- Aquatic rehab is the preferred therapy for many orthopedic injuries, ideal for hip and knee replacements.
- There are now over 10 million people enrolled in aquatic excercise programs in America (an increase of 6 million since 1990).
- Installations of therapy/fitness pools are growing by over 10% per year.
Products offered include:
- The Closed Chain Disk is a versatile aquatic therapy/exercise device that is used to exercise all major leg and hip muscles. The Closed Chain Disk can also help improve balance, increase range of motion in the lower extremities, strengthen the upper body, and improve trunk stability.
- The Aquafins™ Aquatic Exercise Kit will introduce you to a whole new way to work out in the water.
