Medicare Throwing in the Towel

 Finally, relief from "exclusive use" pool clause
For the last several years, Medicare has restricted use of public pools for
patient care. Their policy, it seemed, prevented private practice PTs or OTs
from using a community pool (such as the YMCA or a hotel pool) for patient care
unless the entire pool was closed to the public during the hours in
which Medicare patients were seen. What happened next? You complained and the government blinked.

A toddler slips out of the house and heads for the family swimming
pool. The boy falls in the water, and sinks, but something amazing
happens next. Instead of drowning, he flips on his back, floats to the
top and cries for help. Too good to be true? You decide!

 What's the big secret behind the National Aquatic Center? Nothing.
Accused of being everything from a giant bubble bath to providing unfair advantage to this year's Olympians, Beijing's fantastical swimming temple is actually built to FINA standards. Guess Michael Phelps really might have earned all those golds on his own after all.

 Making The Case For Aquatic TherapyEdina, MinnesotaOctober 16-18, 2008
Tons of pool time. Tons of research
backing up what you have always suspected to be true... that aquatic
therapy works. We look at what insurance companies are saying, what the
AMA is saying, and what YOU should be saying about aquatic therapy. And
then we plop our butts in the pool and practice it until our toes turn
pruney.
