My dog injured his spine and spent 6 mos. rehabbing in one of those things. Totally worked and he had a blast.
Sklumlord
That looks fun AF... wonder how much those things cost though. I assume this is at some high-end professional sports facilities.
VarianceHammer
I've seen them in veterinary hospitals too. They're for rehab.

theweezel69
The one issue I would have with this is the splashing. Unintended splashing is something that annoys me no end. That's just me though.
TheHornedKing
Just intend to splash. Problem solved.
impulsivepassion
What about when you make the ladies go sploosh?
theweezel69
That is a significantly different type of splash and is not unintended.
3nd3rwiggin
You are not alone.
razzlemahfookintassles
This made me very upset as well.
BirdsInTheTrapSingMcnight
I could not stop watching the splashing, I guess they locate it somewhere with a floor drain? the electronics?
Bigcurly2000
Splashing...and the associated electrocutions!

Electronics can be water proof. This company does full room setups for hospitals.

AmoxTails
But why?
triedtothinkofausernamethatwasntalreadytaken
Water resistance makes it even tougher to move around
TheqQueue
real good for those getting over knee/ankle issues too as it reduces impact
AmoxTails
Yeah that's true!
FakeUserToMessageHornyPeopleWith
Because the water holds up your body so you can do things you couldn't do on land. Still makes you tired af though, when you get out of it.
AmoxTails
aah I see. Thanks ^_^
FakeUserToMessageHornyPeopleWith
I haven't tried a treadmill like this, but I have done exercises in a pool. Makes you feel a lot less tired while you're working out,but 1/2
FakeUserToMessageHornyPeopleWith
if you've really worked out you can barely stand as you get out of the pool. Your body feels 10x heavier. But it's great! 2/2
AmoxTails
wow, yeah I can imagen that. I have done ''gymnastics'' in water and also been training leader for a group, mostly seniors. That was fun.
MrLunas
I have more questions.
BiggieZzz
So it fills up while you're in it? I can't imagine they'd climb into it when the water is already that high.
PracticallyHitler
Less strain on the joints, and it engages the rest of the body's muscles more

theweezel69
Then ask your questions.
guardian19d
I too have a few as well.
theweezel69
You should ask your questions too.
BiggieZzz
Agreed! This was my exact reaction when I saw this.
GeneralBLUE88
The main one being, what's the benefit of this vs just swimming or walking across a pool? Then, are clothes mandatory?
taratine
walls need to be higher
HappyJello
Or a platform that encases the water, leaving room for his head. Also, controls would have to be underwater
pythonmonty
or a lid
TeddyMFRoosevelt
LlornDeIcamole
As a mexican i really agree with this mr. Trump!!!
EdwardStarsmith
Judging from the 4'2" markings, I suspect he has it too full for his level of activity in the device.
kazini
Or yaknow the cheap rote, a drain in the floor.
zenosparadox1101
Nope. Currents created during activity need to be analyzed and directed into a loop. This will eliminate wave chop.
Zamm005
Was thinking the same.... either it's terribly designed, been filled up too high, or they didn't expect people to do more than walk in it.
Volpe42
Less water
MrT800
Less water would mean less buoyancy for him; Water level is probably calibrated to each person's height to get the desired buoyancy.
daiconrad

It adds resistance to running so it trains the muscles harder, makes it easier to run without the resistance.
AugCrew
So do hills
imgjim
Yeah but you aren't then actually propelling your own mass the same way either. Aside from the splashing I like it
handsMoleman
It also helps for those nightmares where you're running away from a wolf
dontgetanywrongthoughts
Like Goku's gravity training
MandingoNumber11
The resistance will never be intimidated by you.

Oh fuck, I would love this!
GerberLegalTeam
It reminds me of when you try to run in a dream but can't quite.
Neurisko
Ugh I hate that feeling
MisterLemons
And I bet it feel FANTASTIC being as cooled the entire time you're moving.
dadudemon
Water warms up depending on how long you can last. It warms up surprisingly fast, too.
fatrustyfarts
WAIT RLY
evbrew
I can't imagine wanting any part of sentence.
Vivificus
It's similar to a kicking your legs while swimming, not a great deal on resistance but more than air.
shreddedking
so like gokus 100g training?
Bob64
Or Ussop's 5ton hammer?
wafflefriesrgud
Should call it the Hydrobolic Running Chamber
TheReboundGuy
actually goku's 100g training would kill your knees so fast!

myname4321
Are...are you ok?
MoreAshyThanLarry
Conjecture or sauce?
Arlok
complete conjecture
PrettiesAndPuppersAnd
I call BS on that assessment. Low impact physical therapy after injury is my guess.
MandingoNumber11
as high altitude cardiovascular endurance training. There is less oxygen so your body becomes acclimated to less oxygen so when you go (2)
MandingoNumber11
back down to sea level, you are a beast. (3/3)
CondescendingCunt
You should try getting shot several times before you run. I heard it helps your body acclimate to bullets so that they will affect you less.
MandingoNumber11
Yes, that is how it works. All the experts agree that being shot several times will make you bullet proof.
MandingoNumber11
No. It adds resistance to running so it trains the muscles harder, makes it easier to run without the resistance. It's the same principle(1)
MoreAshyThanLarry
Plausible but any evidence?
PrettiesAndPuppersAnd
No. 90% of the info on the hydroworx.com page was about therapy excercise and not about gains bruh. Also reply to your comment as 1/
MandingoNumber11
It puts resistance on movement. It 100% will build muscle. Are you new to exercising?
PrettiesAndPuppersAnd
Opposed to just putting it all under the same reply so it is in reverse chronological order when reading replies.
Time0
Wrong.. it's for athletes going through rehab
Patman1
what if you're fat and you float?
TheStaleBread
Now you can run without putting your joints in agony
jrblast
Lower the water level until you don't.
khora
Use cold water to transfer heat from the body. Requires lots of energy to keep body temp up.
FrankLake
Same reason why swimmers burn more calories for the same amount of exercise as non-swimmers.
acarlmac15772
So you're saying to lose weight I just need to freeze myself? I'm pretty sure Eric Cartman has done this.
khora
It's even better. Freezing will burn fat directly and not use carbs.
[deleted]

ButterfaceTaintClown
Or... Just driving weights?
Zelko13
Ah the ole concrete shoes. Fat Tony was just tryna help that jamoke exercise!
plebix
also less impact on joints I believe
GuyNamedSean
Yep. Used for both purposes.
Vivificus
This is really the main reason, it doesn't really increase resistance very much.
IUseThisToFavoriteAssnTitties
It does increase resistance ALOT, but that doesn't provide much functional/useful adaptati
IUseThisToFavoriteAssnTitties
The whole point is to limit impact. The mechanics and speed are too off to train running speed
BlueCyclist
Would be better if they were able get the flow towards him
impulsivepassion
Have you never run in the water along the beach?
Vivificus
I have run in water, but in this situation your torso is not moving relative to the water. It's more similar to treading water.
Vivificus
You do have some increased resistance but not like pushing your body through water.
etcnotect
This would be easier than that, because you're not actually going forward
etcnotect
Not saying it isn't harder though
tankmemes
Actually yeah that would make a huge difference..
nofaithleft
as somebody who can barely walk and not even dream of ever running again I'd really like to try this thing
BoomIgotyourwalletBoomIgotyourphilliestickets
Can u swim? I don't want you drowning on us
oheina
As somebody with bad knees and back, I need this in my life.
AlexxStratten
After being hit by a tanker truck running over 70+mph part of my therapy was hydro therapy because of back damage and it helped.
iBarracudaFur
I was in an accident that really messed up my knee and this thin was a saving grace, although running in it is in a while nother' level
IonlycommentTroyandAbedgifs
it's heaven on bad knees and hips...even lower backs
thelostg
Same here
Kabhaal
Me too, after having my back and leg tore up in the military I can't even jog well anymore. This looks amazing.
UnsavoryCommenter
There are swimming pools at every YMCA...
meetingsaramarshall
Same. Do you think any insurance will ever cover this? It would be so amazing for even 5 minutes...
Bollramm
I have troubles walking and running is gone like skiing or skydiving or almost anything. It's why I like swimming.
acarlmac15772
This is not easy. Only less impact on joints.
ilostmyhumancatelmoandwanthimback
I was gonna say the same. I need something like this for rehab without risking further harm. I have not enough balance to do it on the beach
EmeraldLight
Go walking in your local pool! It's amazing.
oprahslovechild
<----also got shit bones..this looks like something I could actually do well.
erischilde
Fucking should strap you on to scuba gear and become our aquaman bro.
RoxanneLaWin
Same here. I've done normal hydrotherapy and still was arse over tit. This is worlds away from what I'd ever hope to achieve again.
ZOMGNO
Water therapy has been helpful for stroke victims. Not revolutionarily helpful, but helpful
IAmYourGodNow
As someone who's fat and sweaty, I think this thing would be good for me too.
whathappenedtoalltheanvils
What happened? If it's not to nosy, was it a gradual loss of mobility or sudden ?
Toiletseatcoversfaceinward
Ooh. Look up alter g treadmills too. And vasper workout
eggrollinabox
+1 for alter g
Toiletseatcoversfaceinward
Have you used it? I'm curious but also not injured enough to start a session.
freakishdarling
I do water jogging at my gym, it's amazing. Its great being able to run and not be crying in pain.
StitchesAreMyJam
I used to go to hydrotherapy when I wasn't allowed to walk and that was excellent. See if there's a pool near you.
nofaithleft
unfortunately it's not that easy. I can't get out of most pools b/c ladders are no good as I also can't move my arm
StitchesAreMyJam
The one I went to had a hoist. And that was just a wee nhs one! It really was lovely not to be using crutches and to be able to move.
StitchesAreMyJam
It was a specific hydrotherapy pool, in a hospital.
myingling
...why not just go to a pool?
TheBestRussian
Many people. Busy. Can get bumped and fall. This is private, your environment is 100% controlled, zero embarrassment or worry.
nofaithleft
also: most pools have ladders and I wouldn't be able to get out again
GmanisGideonGraves
Hello! I work in the medical field. Look into getting a RX for physical therapy in a facility with an aquaciser. This has helped so many
EmpatheticRock
As a Physical Therapist who works in sports and conditioning, these aqua treadmils are more effective for working on form and not 1/2
EmpatheticRock
2/2 super effective for people trying to rehab from joint surgeries or somebody looking for low impact cardio.
nofaithleft
I don't have "mechanical" problems. it's muscle control b/c of a stroke. I've been to a few rehabs. none offered anything with water
mkingi
So what is effective for joint injuries and low impact cardio?
chewybrian
Cycling is good low impact cardio. Joint injuries would depend on which joint, what injury.
alchemist12345
Id also love to try this. My knees are getting destroyed by regular running and my achilles tendon tore 2 times, cant run anymore.
CaptainModeratelyObvious
Try rollerblading :) no impact.
Vivificus
Know your pain, I had a complete Achilles rupture, no bueno.
ilovesmashtaco
I started the year with surgery to fix the same problem
Corrodias
I've always liked elliptical machines for very low-impact exercise. Now if only I could work up the desire to exercise.
alymac
On another note, got my running stopped 6 months ago (hip), been cycling for a few weeks now, it's not a bad replacement.
bigdix69420
Bike hurts my bottom
alchemist12345
I thought about buying a spinning bicycle for home, thing is expensive...

labyrinthconvention
how much do you run? any significant previous injuries?
alchemist12345
Im also overweight but not much, 178cm 80kg (5'10, 176lbs)
alchemist12345
No injuries beforehand, most distance Ive run is 5km (~3 miles) in about 35 minutes. My shoes are good and Im not running on concrete.
labyrinthconvention
jeez, 3 miles isn't _that_ much...do you do that every day or something? how many years? sorry, man that sucks.
alchemist12345
Nope, 3-4 times a week. First time I was doing it for about 2 years till my tendon tore, after that about a year till the 2nd tear. I guess
alchemist12345
2 my anatomy just sucks and I wasnt built for running.
Thund3rbolt
I would think this is easier on those with bad knees or joint problems
AntiEvil007
Exactly, i have to use things liek the x trainer because ive fucked my knee so much.
ivivibpbp
Anti-G machines work similar, it help to put less weight to your leg, great for recovery
IgniaEternale
Think of all the extra resistance. That's strength/endurance training too!! Omg, it hurts to watch!
impostersquall
as someone with bad knees, where do i find this
raviolihummingbird
Also, no sweat!
ilDuderoni
What about people suffering from Pes Cavus or "hollow foot"?
PopeyeTheSailor
or someone whos so overweight that they cant really walk
poojanglez
Used in the NFL on runningbacks with knee/lower body injuries as rehab all the time from what I understand
MrBodyMassageMachineGO
It's meant for resistance training. Some professional athletes have been using them for a while now.
weirdloudman
There's also zero gravity running... this seems like it's more for resistance training with less impact on the joints. try ULTRA-G
LurkerOfDarkness
This one is certainly easy on the eyes...
