After a serious injury you will need to get rehabilitated to get you back on the track, and make sure that you don’t hurt yourself the minute you start doing sports again, and even when you return back to normal life. The thing is that when your joints, bones of soft tissues suffer from serious injury, you will need to gradually build the load on them and allow time for them to heal and become stronger once again. For lower body injuries the best way to achieve this is to use a rehabilitation treadmill that will allow you to gradually build up speed and incline, and this way make it possible to advance in as small steps as possible.
If you have had a knee surgery, ankle surgery or even hip surgery, your rehab is going to be an important part of getting you back on your every day life. When you get older the rehabilitation is going to be more and more important since many elder people can’t fully recover from surgeries without long and properly planned rehab. You don’t want to suffer from pains for the rest of your life because you did not have a proper rehab treadmill at your use when you first started working out again – be sure that you have access to one and don’t use a regular treadmill to start with since you could hurt yourself again.
The most important features in rehab treadmills is the fact that they are able to start from zero speed – most regular running machines will always roll and not allow you to move at the slowest speed you can. Once you have a few slow speed workouts you need to start increasing the speed at small increments and for that reason a rehab running machine is able to increase the speed at even the tiniest fraction and you can easily find a speed where you can comfortably move at a speed that allows you to run or walk safely. Always do the rehabilitation under the supervision of a professional.
Get someone to prepare you a proper rehabilitation plan and also make sure that they are around when you start following it – this is especially important at the beginning so that you don’t hurt yourself before you know what to avoid. A rehab treadmill is not the only thing that you need, but also a proper rehabilitation program is needed, and the most important part of your rehabilitation.
