HydroWorx International, Inc. (http://hydroworx.com/), the world leader in aquatic therapy (http://hydroworx.com/) and conditioning pools (http://hydroworx.com/contact-us.aspx), is especially excited about the 2008 Major League Baseball World Series. The company from Middletown, PA is rooting for every player in both dugouts this year since the Philadelphia Phillies and the Tampa Bay Rays are both HydroWorx customers.
Injury is inevitable in professional baseball today. The regular season schedule is a marathon in Major League Baseball, consisting of 162 grueling games. Athletic trainers and team
doctors are constantly searching for methods to keep their athletes healthiest; teams able to keep their best players on the field are invariably the most successful teams. Aquatic
therapy has proven to be among the most effective means of keeping athletes in top physical condition and HydroWorx sets the benchmark for quality in hydrotherapy (http://hydroworx.com/) sports rehabilitation (http://hydroworx.com/contact-us.aspx) and training.
HydroWorx co-founder and president, Anson Flake proclaimed, HydroWorx is honored to be a part of the aquatic therapy success this outstanding Phillies ball club has enjoyed. The team
utilizes a HydroWorx 2000 Series (http://hydroworx.com/pools-for-pros/h2000.aspx) underwater treadmill pool (http://hydroworx.com/pools-for-pros/index.aspx) and a ThermalPlunge pool for rehab and conditioning in the clubhouse facility at
state-of-the-art Citizens Bank Park.
The 43,500 seat park is a fan favorite with fun features concessions, real grass, angled seating, rooftop bleachers, and a modern design that hitters thrive in. Philadelphia faithful are
thrilled that players like Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, and Cole Hamels can rebound from the daily grind on the diamond using HydroWorx aquatic therapy technology. 45-year-old veteran
pitcher Jamie Moyer continues to inspire the home crowd as he has for decades. His secret to longevity in the major leagues is staying active, even on the nights he'ss not pitching. He
arrives at the ballpark six hours before games to get a great cardiovascular workout in the HydroWorx pool. The water supports a portion of his bodyweight as he exercises and
rehabilitates. A study done at Texas A's38;M University proved that participants who ran in a HydroWorx pool improved their overall health and fitness without the joint trauma and
wear-and-tear that one normally experiences working out on land.
Philadelphia'ss players rehabilitate and exercise HydroWorx-style year round. Flake was quick to point out, We'sre humbled that the Phillies also included a HydroWorx 500 Series
underwater treadmill at their Spring Training facility in Clearwater, FL.
Speaking of successful Spring Training, the Tampa Bay Rays have decided to include a HydroWorx 1100 Series underwater treadmill pool as well as HydroWorx ThermalPlunge and PolarPlunge
pools in their new renovation of the clubhouse at the Port Charlotte Sports Park Complex, site of the Rays's upcoming 2009 Spring Training. The Stadium will be completely renovated to be
on par with the best facilities in the Grapefruit League. A cutting-edge 40,000 square foot building will hold the Rays administrative offices. Commodious major and minor league
clubhouses will brim with stars like Carlos Pe's241;a, Evan Longoria, Akinori Iwamura, and James Shields.
With World Series powerhouses in his corner, Flake maintained It is fulfilling to realize that we'sre helping the greatest baseball players in the world maximize their potential by
staying healthy with aquatic therapy. We'sre blessed that elite sports professionals recognize the benefits of running underwater. These athletes are warriors out there, and any help we
can provide by taking the stress off their bodies is very rewarding for us as a company. That said, Flake refused to take sides in this year'ss October Classic: I'sm a lifelong fan of any
organization that invites HydroWorx to be a part of their team.
