How do Water Treadmills work?
They give the horses an extremely effective full body workout improving general fitness, joint range of motion and respiration. The buoyancy of the water helps reduce concussive forces and impact to the lower limbs. The high resistance to water increases muscle activity. The water pressure helps reduce any swelling and stimulates circulation of the lower limbs. The cold water from the treadmill also helps aid any pain present. All whilst being in a fully controlled and monitored environment.
