HydroWorx 500 Series at Terrapin
The treadmill made all the difference in...being able to set achievement goals to increase their workload and speed of gait and that carried over into their regular function perfectly.
Middletown, PA (PRWEB) December 05, 2016
When Tony Pazzaglia, CEO of Monterey, CA based Terrapin Physical Therapy, Inc., began embracing water therapy for his orthopedic patients, he never realized how transformative aquatics could be thanks to modern developments. Today, Pazzaglia is a firm believer that when water therapy techniques are applied in a high-tech environment, the possibilities are endless and exciting.
As he has noted when discussing his therapy pools with underwater treadmill and resistance jets, “The treadmill made all the difference in the world for objectively measuring how much work my patients were doing in improving their balance, being able to set achievement goals to increase their workload and speed of gait and that carried over into their regular function perfectly. We found that whatever could be performed in the pool could be transferred to land.”
Pazzaglia will talk about his journey to becoming a proponent of aquatic therapy in a webinar scheduled for Wednesday, December 6, 2016, from 3:00-4:00 p.m. E.S.T. “Aquatic Applications for Orthopedic Physical Therapy” will focus on how Terrapin Physical Therapy uses its HydroWorx 500 Series therapy pool and new 300 Series, perfect for existing facilities, to build strength, flexibility and endurance for a wide range of patients.
In addition to a robust discussion of the basic aquatic applications he uses at his facility, Pazzaglia will discuss in-depth population-specific protocols and exercises. This unique sharing of the methods he’s used to successfully help orthopedic clientele achieve goals from improvement of daily activities to elite Olympic marathon running are designed to engage, inspire and educate audience members.
The live webinar is free to attend and is well-suited for professionals in the physical therapy field, including administrators considering aquatic therapy. Interested participants are asked to pre-register for “Aquatic Applications for Orthopedic Physical Therapy” at http://ww2.hydroworx.com/webinar-ortho-terrapin to ensure a spot to this online event.
