The Use of Hydrotherapy for Early Progression of Rehabilitation Protocols

- EDT

The webinar will give an overview of the criterion based rehabilitation philosophies used at Perform at St. George’s Park, and how hydrotherapy is used in the early phases of rehabilitation to challenge the athletes to stimulate improvements in neuromuscular control and progressively load. It will include videos of examples of these progressions and discuss how these link directly to some of the ‘out of water’ progressions in the rehabilitation.

Kemp will discuss the following topics during the webinar:

  • How progression from each phase of rehabilitation can be achieved earlier using hydrotherapy
  • How bilateral loading can be started in the water as soon as the wounds have sufficiently healed
  • How Kemp uses his pool depth, jets, and treadmill for proprioceptive challenge in multiple planes of movement
  • How such neuromuscular challenging rehabilitation in a safe environment can allow the ‘out of water’ exit criteria to be achieved much earlier and can lead to reduced rehabilitation times

Attendees will learn:

  • Multi-planar protocols for challenging proprioception
