Trying to get back to competitive sprinting from a broken foot after having surgery is no easy task at the best of times - let alone with a time frame of about three months. Without using the underwater treadmill it would have been infinitely harder. I was able to start walking and then running sessions underwater about 6 weeks before I was able to do them on hard ground, which obviously made an enormous difference. The work I was able to put in there, from not only a rehab perspective but also in terms of developing my cardiovascular and muscle strength was amazing. I have probably come out stronger than before. I would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to enhance a rehab programme or develop their training.

Suffering from an ankle injury that halted my training and competition schedule was frustrating at the best of times- especially when the rest of my body was perfectly fine! For me, the underwater treadmill was the best alternative of cross-training as, despite being in rehab, I could essentially complete normal track training sessions, pain free. It improved my cardiovascular fitness whilst also maintaining my running mechanics and motor patterns, which helped my transition back to sprinting to be relatively seamless. If anyone is looking to advance their rehab programme or improve their training, then I would highly recommend using the underwater treadmill.

Had a go at Swimotion today.(I am always a baby getting in water it took a while) Thanks Jon #underwatertreadmill

Thanks Swimotion for a great session this afternoon. Made my legs feel amazing again!! #RoadToRio Team GB Olympian Tom Bosworth at Swimotion prior to competing in the 20km race walk at Rio 2016 Tom completed this gruelling event in 1:20:13 placing 6th.

I found Runmotion worked extremely well in helping me to develop strength and get back into running after having 4 months off. I had suffered from the early stages of a stress fracture in my tibia and found Swimotion was a great way of being able to test running again and how my leg reacted to it. It helped as it was about 50% body weight hitting the ground each step, meaning less pressure was put on my leg. I started off with one session and then did 2 sessions a week. I would recommend more than one session as the first time I spent that getting used to the motion. Each session Jon put the resistance up and after a few I found my legs becoming stronger. Not only did it help my strength but also running technique. A few days ago, I went on my first run in 4 months and felt so much stronger. I can’t recommend Jon enough!! Thank you again.

I have been to Runmotion twice following 2 operations in the last 3 years. It has hugely aided my rehab by allowing me to be able to train sooner due to the reduced impact on the area of operation and therefore enabled me to maintain my fitness. Jon is very professional and gave many tips when my coach was unable to make the sessions. They have the correct Covid-19 precautions in place in a very clean and enjoyable environment. I would very much recommend Runmotion to those following an injury and wanting to maintain high levels of fitness in a very unique way!
