In this webinar Phil Voorhis will outline the valuable role that hydrotherapy plays in his university’s sports medicine program. He will begin with why he and his team decided to explore incorporating hydrotherapy into their facility and the decision making process that led to the purchase of their pool. He will discuss the logistics of integrating this piece of hydrotherapy equipment into their facility, including overcoming initial challenges and concerns. He will also describe the day to day management of an effective collegiate hydrotherapy program that treats athletes from multiple sports and how he and his team maximize the use of their pool. Phil will finish with a unique case study of the rehabilitation of an Abductor Longus Avulsion in a college football player.

“The presenters did an excellent job of explaining the rationale for the exercises. This
was an interesting look at how to develop speed both on land and in the water.”
