SwimEx and WOODWAY Join Forces

The ultimate aquatic therapy experience will debut this fall with the release of SwimEx therapy pools with an integrated WOODWAY treadmill. The two leaders in their fields are combining technologies to unite the smoothest water flow with the smoothest running environment to create the most beneficial workout possible. The quality, history and engineering behind the two leaders in their fields combine to make one great product.

The key to SwimEx is its unique paddlewheel technology that delivers the smoothest, deepest, widest flow in a consistent wall of water providing a better therapy environment than jet-type pools. It is the only aquatic therapy pool with a variable speed laminar flow capable of circulating 30,000 gallons of water per minute in a current strong enough to hold up even the biggest athletes yet gentle enough to treat a frail patient. Sports teams and physical therapy clinics around the world rely on SwimEx for best-in-class therapy.

“SwimEx offers a complete isokinetic aquatic therapy workout beneficial in treating a wide range of conditions. Joining the WOODWAY treadmill to our laminar flow will deliver the industry’s most challenging running/walking workout, making conditioning and protocol possibilities nearly unlimited,” said Suzanne Marchetti, Vice President of Sales.

The WOODWAY advantage lies in the combination of a slat-belt running surface and smooth rolling ball bearings, a design that is softer and more comfortable to run on and is medically proven to be better on joints and connective tissues. What’s more, they last up to ten times longer than a conventional belt treadmill, are built stronger and can handle the weight and higher speeds needed for rehab better. This is WOODWAY’s first underwater treadmill design available in the United States.

“The treadmill used for the SwimEx water application utilizes the same design that is being used by professional sports teams, commercial fitness facilities and medical rehabilitation centers around the world,” said Eric Weber, WOODWAY Director of Sales and Marketing. “We’re very excited about the possibilities of this new venture.”

From athletes and sports teams to physical therapy facilities and private owners, the new SwimEx therapy pool with integrated WOODWAY treadmill will meet a wide range of conditioning/rehab needs. It will fit in most SwimEx models, both flat bottom and workstation pools. In addition, current SwimEx owners can upgrade to the WOODWAY if their installation permits. Stop by their booth at the NATA Show in San Antonio, Texas on June 18-20 for more information about the new venture.
