Research shows Aquatic exercise alone may reduce some orthopedic surgeries by as much as 70 %. Is it possible the AquaDiosTM approach could be a realistic alternative to 70 % or more of the surgeries across America and decrease the surgery population to a mere 30%?
The AquaDios-MedTM
advantage is a mind/body interaction produced by buoyant immersion in
multiple water temperatures with the support of mind/body science and
the skillfull use of water pressure.
When practiced soon enough and often enough, AquaDios-MedTM
not only accelerates general rehabilitation, it is ideal for training
elite athletes, dancers, or entertainers who rely on their physical and
emotional prowess for their livelihood.
Rehabilitation centers, health spas and physiotherapists around the
world conduct traditional hydrotherapy in 98-degree water for about 20
minutes. This typically limited range of patient physical movement
provides limited patient benefits. Insurance carriers happily reimburse
$80 (or more) per these 20-minute procedures. On the one hand, it does
provide minimal, temporary benefits and relief, while on the other, its
procedures cause patients to be over dependent on a treatment that
primarily is a guaranteed income by third party insurance payments.
"Shake and bake" is a derogatory term aimed at ineffective
rehabilitation procedures. It unfortunately describes much of the
common, standard care hydrotherapy, physiotherapy and some physical therapy procedures. Some evidence shows that many current
rehabilitation procedures throughout the US provide limited, if any,
real or lasting physical or psychological benefits to the patient,
workplace or society.
One small AquaDios-MedTM facility (similar to the prototype), can process more than 30 patients an hour with superior and lasting
results. An eight-hour day translates into $57,600. A simple economic
formula demonstrates annual income from rehab alone to be about
$20,748,000 per year.
Additional annual physical fitness income of $300,000 can be
generated from individual membership revenue with activities directed
toward strength, endurance or cross training.
Realistic annual
income, from just these two examples is $21,048,000 with possible additional revenue from many other areas including professional and university athletics. The AquaDios-MedTM market is unlimited because its benefits are for everybody, from children to the aged and incapacitated.
