(Reproduction Youtube/t nacr)

If you are recovering from a lesion, the faster you can get back to training, the better, right? What you didn’t know is that, from now on, it is possible to use a aqua treadmill as part of at-home rehabilitation — of course, if you have the cash to invest!

The Japanese invention (sold to £69,000) promotes cardiovascular benefits comparable to street running. But since body weight is reduced by up to 80% by water, the effects on your legs and joints are much milder – meaning you would stay in shape without harming your injury. Also, running in water forces your muscles to work harder than when they are triggered outside of it.
