Come see for yourself how Fyzical's HydroWorx Aquatic Therapy Pool uses the power of water to bring the most advanced aquatic therapy to you, right here in Colleyville.
HydroWorx’s patented underwater treadmill is integrated seamlessly into the pool floor and is revolutionizing rehabilitation, conditioning and recovery. By taking advantage of the body’s buoyancy in water, a HydroWorx pool will eliminate from 20% to 90% of an individual’s body weight. For example, in collarbone-deep water, a 200 pound subject will bear only 20 pounds while in the aquatic therapy pool. This, in conjunction with therapeutic warm water, allows for substantially decreased joint compression and pain.
As a result, with HydroWorx, early range-of-motion gains during rehab are immediately a reality. Walking and balancing in a low impact environment allows for earlier replication of proper ambulatory biomechanics, which were formerly postponed until pain-free, land-based training was possible.
Hydrostatic pressure promotes the healing and strengthening of injured tissue by reducing joint stiffness, decreasing swelling, and lowering blood pressure levels. Cardiovascular stamina, muscle toning, and flexibility are augmented by the resistance that water provides.
HOW WATER WORKS:
BUOYANCY: At this water depth, a person is bearing only 20-25% of his/her bodyweight
HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE: Natural properties of water naturally reduces swelling and inflammation.
RESISTANCE: Resistance and strength are
increased when working against the added
resistance of the water or therapy jets.
SENSORY STIMULATION: Water increases
kinesthetic awareness of body to promote
relaxation
WATER TEMPERATURE: The warmth of the
water relaxes joints and muscles promoting
early range of motion and increased flexibility.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND FACTS:
Aquatic therapy is an exercise solution for all levels of weight-bearing. As a non or
partial weight-bearing patient, having a way to move and safely begin rehabilitation
can do amazing things for the body and emotional well-being. The bouyancy of the
water eliminates up to 90% of a person’s bodyweight, allowing you to safely begin
therapeutic exercises shortly after injury without the fear of falling or re-injury.
We advise clients to drink plenty of water prior to their session as the warm water can
dehydrate your body.
We advise clients to bring a snack for after their session to replenish their body.
Please bring a towel, as well as comfotable non slip footwear (flip flops are okay), and a change of clothes for after their therapy session.
We would like you to feel comfortable about getting in the water and explain that bathing suits are not required. Dry fit shirts and shorts are perfectly acceptable.
