Upcoming Free Webinar: Functional Post-Op Rehab of Division I Swimmer Using Aquatic Therapy
Working with athletes who are recovering from injuries or surgeries presents many challenges. Typically athletes want to push themselves to get back faster than they should, and the athletic trainers have to carefully manage that desire. Fortunately, Collin Francis, Assistant Athletic Trainer at Indiana University was able to work through that balance by utilizing aquatic therapy as the primary form of rehabilitation for a Division I athlete.
Join us on September 3rd from 1:00pm to 2:00pm EDT for the free webinar, “Functional Post-Op Rehab of Division I Swimmer Using Aquatic Therapy.” The presenter, Collin Francis, MS, ATC, LAT, Assistant Athletic Trainer at Indiana University, will present the case study of the rehabilitation of a Division I swimmer who required arthroscopic surgery on both knees. Collin will discuss the athlete’s background before surgery as well as his diagnosis and eventual treatment plan.

Finally, he will present the outcomes of the rehabilitation, including goals met by the athlete.
