How Aquajogger Buoyancy Belts Aid the Treatment & Rehabilitation of Injuries

Wayne Rooney famously used an Aquajogger as part of his physical therapy rehabilitation for a broken foot, to get fit for the World Cup 2006. Find out how to improve fitness and speed your recovery from injury by using an Aquajogger buoyancy belt when your injury prevents you from putting weight through your leg.

What is the Aquajogger?

Photo of an aquajogger The Aquajogger is a buoyancy belt that allows an early return to swimming pool exercises when you have an injury that would otherwise stop you from exercising. It clips around the waist and keeps your feet off the bottom of the pool, allowing the user to run without putting weight through their injury. It can significantly reduce the time that someone is out with a sports injury.

The Aquajogger is ideal where you have an injury that requires a rest from the impact of your normal sport. It enables you to allow the injury to recover, without suffering a decline in your general fitness level. By maintaining your general fitness in the pool, the recovery process is accelerated and you can get back to your sport faster.

The benefits of exercise in water can be continued even after regaining full fitness. These include:

Who uses them?

Manchester United have three swimming pools at their state of the art training facility at Carrington. Wayne Rooney is currently recovering from a broken foot and is using the Aquajogger to help maintain his fitness and speed his recovery.

Many elite athletes such as football, basketball and rugby players use the Aquajogger to help them recover faster from a sprained ankle, broken foot, foot surgery, knee surgery, muscle injuries and back pain.


When to use the Aquajogger

The Aquajogger buoyancy belt is ideal for early non weight bearing cardiovascular training as its design allows the user to run in the pool without putting stress through their injury. It is perfect following injuries such as fractures and stress fractures, knee ligament injuries, sprained ankle or swollen ankle, as well as following knee surgery and ankle surgery, once the wounds are sufficiently healed.

By allowing joint range of motion exercises without the stress of weight bearing through the joint, then rehab is accelerated. Early cardiovascular exercise improves circulation and this improves healing.
