Middletown, PA–The Steadman-Hawkins Clinic’s primary goal is to deliver the highest standard of orthopedic care and personal attention to each and every patient seeking their help. By installing a HydroWorx underwater treadmill pool into their facility they have just made that goal a certainty.

The HydroWorx pool will be utilized at the Steadman-Hawkins Clinic to accelerate the rehabilitation process for injured professional athletes as well as those who just want to walk again without pain.

Dr. Hawkins is a founding member of the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, a consultant to the United States Ski Team and Canadian Ski Team.

HydroWorx is no stranger to attracting elite customers from various fields. Not only have HydroWorx pools attracted customers from over 85 various professional and collegiate sports teams, but Dr. James Andrews – world renown orthopedic surgeon, as well.

Dr. James Andrews will equip his newest sports medicine facility with a treadmill pool from Middletown-based HydroWorx.

The Andrew’s Institute, a $30 million, 143000 square-foot facility in Gulf Breeze, Fla. near Pensacola, will feature 3 HydroWorx pools when it opens in October, 2006.
