OrthoCarolina Partners with HydroWorx Once Again to Offer Patients and Community Advanced Aquatic Therapy Options

HydroWorx InstaFit Pool at OrthoCarolina

Middletown, PA (PRWEB) April 16, 2014

At OrthoCarolina, aquatic therapy has become such a driving force that they sometimes have difficulty getting every patient in their pool. Unlike a traditional pool found at a health club, their particular unit is specially equipped with an underwater treadmill, massage hose capabilities, resistance therapy jets and underwater video. These advanced technologies allow their physical therapists and specialists to provide innovative healing, which was becoming somewhat of a double-edged sword before the company decided to invest in a second HydroWorx therapy pool which they installed at one of their facilities several miles away.

“We’ve had so much success, but it can be difficult to keep up with the demand,” admits Cheryl Bennett, PTA. “Having another therapy pool allows us to offer more for patients who want and need aquatic therapy. That’s a huge group, too; so many people need this kind of avenue to transition safely to land-based physical therapies. Without aquatic therapy, many patients would fall off the schedule or have tremendous difficulty getting over the initial ‘hump’ of therapy. With the pool, we can get them headed in the right direction from day one.”

Their second therapy pool is located at the north end of their city, a more convenient drive for former and current OrthoCarolina patients who do not wish to navigate significant traffic to enjoy their aquatic therapy and exercises. In the past, some OrthoCarolina patients tried to continue their progress in the pool at local gyms, but those pools’ cooler temperatures and more generalized programs led them to become frustrated with the experience. Having a warm-water HydroWorx pool located closer to their homes now enables them to enjoy all that aquatics has to offer.

Aquatic therapy isn’t new in terms of humankind. Civilizations around the globe have turned to the healing powers of water for millennia, from the public baths of Rome to the hot spring spas across northern Europe. However, with equipment like the HydroWorx pools, the natural properties of water such as buoyancy and hydrostatic pressure can be even more precisely and deliberately harnessed. This is a boon for those with foot and ankle problems, chronic pain, back problems, arthritis, MS and more.

Fitness advocates like Dr. Robert McBride, who practices with OrthoCarolina, appreciate being able to get patients on a fast-track aquatic therapy program very soon, even days after surgery. Whereas patients in similar situations would be forced to wait until they could comfortably handle land-based physical therapy, they are now able to reap the advantages because in the pool, their weight is countered by up to 80 percent.

Duane Albers, PT, Director of Physical and Hand Therapy, OrthoCarolina notes, “The pool continues to be very successful for our patient population and for many of our patients. It allows us to initiate therapy earlier following their injury which in turn helps to regain function sooner and pose less long term complications. Additionally, for those patients who are limited in WB or who may be challenged by land based exercises it allows us to make functional progressions in the pool to carry over to a land based program. The decision to add a second pool was highly supported by our physician leadership in order to provide a high level of care in multiple locations to meet the growing needs and convenience of our patients.”

The new therapy pool is much like the first that OrthoCarolina purchased from HydoWorx. Located on the first floor of the north end facility, it has become a veritable magnet for those seeking the proven benefits of regular aquatics. Its success is definitely in the numbers: Between its inception in November 2013 and March 2014, its use time by patients suffering from foot and ankle, low back pain, hip pain and knee pain has quadrupled and continues to grow.

Because OrthoCarolina is an official partner of University of North Carolina at Charlotte, their personnel see many UNCC students who require aquatic therapy. Yet their options span a wide range of ages and abilities. Explains Elizabeth Nichols, PT, ATC, “The programs are based upon each patient: what they did before, what their expectations are, etc. We have an adult population that ranges from 25 to 91 years old! One patient had pain in her left hip. She’s been going to the gym as part of the Silver Sneakers program, but her gym doesn’t have a pool. We’re now transitioning her to a pool program and she loves it. She was so shocked after the first two visits to OrthoCarolina that she didn’t have hip pain following her pool therapy!”

OrthoCarolina’s pools are not open to the general public at this point. Nonetheless, those in the Charlotte, North Carolina area who require physical therapy are encouraged to discuss the advantages of aquatic therapy treatments with their referring physicians.

The Tea Spot announces today the upcoming introduction of its new line of certified organic loose leaf teas in retail-ready gift tins. The Tea Spot’s organic tea collection will symbolically launch on Earth Day, Tuesday, April 22nd, 2014.

Market demand for organic tea has been growing steadily over the past 15 years as consumers continue to become more educated about natural and healthy beverage options for the whole family. The Tea Spot’s commitment to offering a variety of loose leaf organic teas supports their customers’ need for more natural and sustainable alternatives. The Tea Spot now has two dozen certified organic teas to meet these rising demands. The loose leaf tea company prides itself on being able to offer a wide variety of traditional teas and herbal teas, as both single-estate teas and blends, all grown without the use of harmful pesticides or chemicals.

The wholesale demand for organic teas in retail-ready packaging is what drove the company’s decision to launch this new series of tea tins. “Feedback from customer previews of our organic loose leaf tea tins has been overwhelmingly positive,” stated company CEO Maria Uspenski, “so we’re extending our commitment to organic products by making this new line of tinned teas available for both domestic and international wholesale customers. The teas we chose to package in these striking, yet elegant tins, are our top-selling organic loose leaf teas. They already have a tremendous following and we know they have a proven track record of re-purchase. Many of our most dedicated customers look for organic options above any others, so we’re happy to expand our tea tin collection in that direction.”

In addition, the company is making the organic loose leaf tea tins directly available to retail customers at its online tea store, http://theteaspot.com, both as individual tins and as part of an organic tea set with eight tea tins. Those will be available for sale as of Earth Day 2014. The Tea Spot’s online newsletter subscribers will be privy to an advance sale on the organic tea tins.

The seven loose leaf teas to be launched in The Tea Spot’s branded organic tea tin packages will include:

GenF20 Plus, the Clinically Proven HGH Releaser Supplement is Now Available to Slow Down Aging

Los Angeles, Ca (PRWEB) April 15, 2014

GenF20 Plus is the latest product recently launched in the market as the HGH releaser supplement. The product has captured the high attention from the media, customers and health experts and within the short time period it has become the best anti aging supplement available in the market. Prepared from the scientifically proven ingredients, this is the 100% natural and safe formula and it has clinically proven the effective supplement to fight against the aging signs.

GenF20 Plus supplement’s formulation is based on the blend of natural ingredients including the natural herbs, amino acids and peptides. It promises to support the human body to produce enough human growth hormone, also known as the “youth hormone” for the overall healthy well being. The product has gone through the clinical studies and trials. The clinical results illustrate that it takes only 3 weeks for an individual to fully experience the effects of GenF20 Plus.

Scientists found through the studies that the aging process brings lots of health issues which are usually caused by the declining level of HGH in the human body. A study found that at the age of 60, the HGH level remains the half of the HGH level at the age of 20, which results unwanted weight gain, decreased energy and various other health issues. The medical community has found that elevating the level of the HGH can overcome several health issues. The benefits include fat loss, youthful appearance, increased muscle tone, stronger immune system, and increased energy.

GenF20 Plus supplement contains all the clinically proven ingredient that can naturally raise the HGH level in the human body. The product has clinically proven safe for use. It has no unpleasant side effects on health.
