Conference at Leuven - Aqua leuven 2015

Conference at Leuven - Aqua leuven 2015

Interesting scientific sessions, interaction with international delegates, updates on recent advances and work being carried out at different levels of therapeutic intervention, networking and a lovely dinner sums up the Aqua Leuven. Daniel Daly taking the lead ensured smooth running of all the events on time. Some interesting clips



Dinner with the IATF board. Leuven has a street
Munstrat with many restaurants lined up and it is very tempting to simply sitdown to experience the place.








My presentation on "Aquatic education in India - obstacles and strategies for success" was received well with some countries facing a similar issue on setting up Aquatic Therapy. Also Presentation was supported by Amruta Paranjape from India and Baris from Turkey voicing the lack of awareness and inputs on how to make it a sustainable venture.


The topic that drew my attention was the state of art wireless EMG analysis of swimmers muscle performance.Wish I was a part of the team for analysis. The technology was amazing and the research possibilites plenty.

This was followed by a wonderful demonstration of EWAC Medical team on the use of monitoring activity intensity on underwater treadmill, aqua cycle, aqua jogging and aquatic exercise wirelessly using bluetooth and heart monitor. Demonstrated by enthusiastic models and Ben Waller from Finland

 The man behind my constant persuation of Aquatic therapy, Johan has been there consistently replying to all my emails for keeping the aquatic spark alive.







There is another greatest news I want to share with you all. The next Aqua Evidence conference will be hosted by India by an enthusiastic team of therapists. I had the previlige and pleasure to invite everyone on behalf of India. The conference will be happening in 2017. Further details will come very soon. Early Bird Registrations will commence from this very year end.

WE have huge work to do in the coming Two years. Wish to have everyone's support in making this a successful event.

The year 2015 is posing New Challenges and it will be one long year for aquatic therapy. After looking at education and awareness, now the goal is to develop a working model of aquatic therapy center. It is a Herculean task of setting up a pool. Hope it can be achieved this year.

Am planning some new advanced programs in aquatic therapy this year along with the basic workshop that is going on. If everything works out we might have invited international faculties for taking workshops on Halliwick, Badragaz, and may be Ai Chi.

One good news is my paper on aquatic therapy education in India has been selected  for presentation at Leuven Belgium. Am looking forward for a good interaction and some recharge for my motivation to last the year.

There will be more to come once pool is ready.
