FREE HYDROTHERAPY COURSE

The purpose of this course is to offer an introduction to the value of aquatic therapy for performance and rehabilitation with HydroWorx products. Sports injury rehabilitation professionals will learn how to safely reduce the recovery time of their athletes and maintain cardiovascular fitness while injured.  They will also learn ways to prevent injury and enhance recovery through advanced aquatic technology.

This half day educational conference will guide the participant through an introduction to aquatics for the Sports Injury and Performance Professional and offer various protocols to treat common sport related injuries.  It will also display the unique features of the HydroWorx pool that are critical for your athlete's accelerated recovery and performance.  The informal format of the course is designed to encourage hands-on and experiential learning and will offer time in the pool to experience the unique technology of a HydroWorx such as the underwater treadmill, resistance therapy jets and deep tissue massage.   The program also includes lunch and a tour of Spire Perform at St. Georges Park.
