  • SPEAKER BIO:

    Patrick Hald has 23+ years of experience in the Fitness and Wellness Industry, currently as Director of Business Development for HydroWorx and formerly as President of the International Council on Active Aging and President and COO of FreeMotion Fitness. Patrick is extremely passionate about helping older adults recover from illness and injury and maintain function levels to retain independence, dignity and quality of life. While we cannot necessarily increase life span we can increase the quality of life for the span of one’s life and water can play an integral role.

    On a continual quest for information and education Hald feels warm water therapy and wellness is underutilized in Senior Living and Senior Services and is the ideal intervention tool for injury, illness, falls risk and functional decline.
