Rehabilitation Concept 2 Rower

Rehabilitation Concept 2 Rower – the Concept 2 Rower is known as one of the best exercise rowing machine for fitness enthusiasts and athletes, but it is also used as a training tool for rehabilitative purposes. Because of the ability to control the intensity of the exercise with an indoor rower, and the lack of impact when using a rowing machine, the concept 2 has been adopted by many physiotherapy clinics and cardiac rehabilitation clinics as a therapy tool to help their patients recover.

People coming off of a knee surgery must be careful when embarking on an exercise program. Running outdoors or on the treadmill is not a good idea, but indoor rowing is suitable for those recovering from knee surgery due to its low impact properties. Using the concept 2 or a similar rowing machine can gradually restore the range of motion in the knee with minimal forces acting on the joint, all while building aerobic fitness at the same time.

The Concept 2 Rowing Machine has also been used for cardiac rehabilitation therapy. With the user being able to control the intensity level during exercise, and the low stress a rowing machine exhibits on the body, patients have used the concept 2 on their road to recovery.
