"Hydrotherapy and Underwater Treadmill: Safe and Rapid Rehabilitation for Stroke Patients" — Service User Review: Mr. Charoenwit's Journey EP4

 

The beginning of movement raises an important question: how far can rehabilitation take you? For Charoenwit, the professional team at KIN Origin selected Aquatic Treadmill or an underwater treadmill as one of his rehabilitation options. We emphasize individualized rehabilitation, close supervision at every stage, and care from an experienced professional team to build confidence in both physical and emotional recovery.

Walking on an underwater treadmill reduces body weight by up to 80% because of the properties of water. In simple terms, a person weighing 100 kilograms may experience an effective weight of only around 20 kilograms in the water. This is suitable for patients in the early stages after stroke who have joint weakness. Water helps support body weight, prevent injury during training, reduce impact while stepping, and may improve the efficiency of stroke rehabilitation compared with conventional land-based therapy. It allows patients to practise walking for longer periods with greater safety. Walking speed and water temperature can also be adjusted as needed. Warm water helps stimulate circulation, reduce muscle pain and tightness, and improve balance and stability during movement and gait training.

Walking on anUnderwater Treadmill therefore provides a safe and efficient rehabilitation option for stroke patients. To us, Charoenwit is not only a rehabilitation patient, but also an inspiration that encourages us to pursue the best possible outcomes. KIN Origin is ready to provide close care throughout the journey.

Every movement is an important step toward returning to normal life. Charoenwit is getting closer to achieving his goal. Follow his rehabilitation journey and continue supporting him in the next episode.
