New Thera-Band Research
|
|
So which do you think would make for a better workout? Using
elastic band, such as thera-band, to work-out or jumping into the
nearest pool? Inquiring minds wanted to know... so a team in Spain
published their research findings last month.
And the winner is... |
Payment Alternatives During a Recession
|
|
 About to lose your patients? Try your hand at fundraising.
If your state is looking to cut off therapy services for the poor, take a look at what other facilities have done to help keep their customers from canceling their rehab altogether. When the chips are down and big government is failing you, go to the people who care the most; the warm-hearted members of your own neighborhood. Read more here.. |
The Blessings of Ozone
|
|
Your pool making you itch or giving your people a bad case of contact dermatitis? Consider the virtues of ozone.
Ozone is an excellent oxidizing agent -- thousands of times faster than chlorine or bromine at removing organic and inorganic contaminants and pathogens from the water. Because ozone is only being generated when the pool water is circulating, and ozone leaves no residual for killing bacteria about to be introduced into the water, it must be used in conjunction with chlorine or bromine if continuous disinfection of pool water is desired. However, use of ozone results in a reduced halogen consumption. Less bromine or chlorine are needed to maintain the oxidation reduction potential (ORP), and lower halogen residuals are required.

Pediatric Aquaticists: Join us at the Melting Pot
|
|
 San Mateo registrants to meet and compare notes at notable local eatery
The Melting Pot is not your parent's restaurant. Or maybe it is if your folks jumped on the fondue bandwagon when you were growing up. Here, fondue truly becomes a memorable four-course dining
experience where patrons can dip into something different - and
discover all the ingredients for a unique dining experience including a
relaxed atmosphere, private tables, attentive service, fine wines and
signature fondue dinners. Come and join the fun.
Our March peds course in San Mateo is now a go. In fact, we are now holding an extra 10 seats open just for late-comers. If you've always wanted to learn how to treat the special-needs child, now is the time to sign up. This is our only West Coast peds class so if you know any pediatric therapists who may be interested in this course, please share this message with them.
