Rehabilitation Treadmills

Rehabilitation Treadmills

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, experiencing excess muscle tension or have limited mobility, Rehabilitation Treadmills can be a great way to get you up and moving again in a safe, controlled environment. While it's important to look at your individual situation and what’s safe for you, many users find that light to moderate workouts on a treadmill are a fantastic rehabilitation method. Our specially designed rehabilitation treadmills contain advanced safety features to give you the ultimate security and comfort to take things at your own pace. With these rehab machines, we ensure maximum safety and security for users who might struggle with conventional treadmill exercise.

There are a few key differences that set apart a rehabilitation treadmill from others. Treadmills designed for rehabilitation have specially designed guide rails along each side that provide additional support and stability. These help in not only getting on the machine in the first place, but as a support when walking or running on it. On these handles, you’ll also find handy quick speed and incline buttons, allowing you to make easy changes throughout your workout without having to reach the console.

Speaking of which, Rehab treadmills feature a large, user-friendly LCD display on the console. Here is where you’ll also find the safety key, which can be pulled to automatically switch off the treadmill in case of an emergency. You can clip this onto your clothes, so that the machine will stop if you fall.

Rehab treadmills will also be capable of much lower speeds than a normal treadmill, with our models going as low as 0.3km/h, and up to 14 km/h. This ensures that just about anyone can use a rehab treadmill at their own pace. There are also options for incline changes, raising or lowering the gradient of the running belt automatically. Our Rehabilitation treadmills feature 12 levels of automatic incline, allowing you to gently accelerate your workout, and train additional muscles in the lower body.

To improve comfort and provide stability, our Rehab treadmills feature a spacious DuraGrip running belt. Built with commercial grade materials, Lifespan Fitness’ DuraGrip design incorporates an innovative groove belt to maximise grip and durability to ensure safety. The belt also has anti-static properties, and noise reducing materials for a comfortable walk, run or jog.

For protecting your feet and joints, and allowing you to accelerate your workout comfortably, our running belts are built with ShockControl cushioning. This technology uses advanced cushioning to provide support and reduce impact. This is particularly useful in injury recovery, as an improper exercise base can cause unnecessary inflammation and tension in the muscles, especially the feet and legs.

It’s important to mention that just because our Rehabilitation treadmills have these safety features, it also doesn’t mean it can't be used to great benefit by more able and advanced users. With the 12 levels of automatic incline, and a top speed of 14km/h, you can still use these machines to achieve greater fitness goals and levels.
