Grand Opening of New Aston Villa Football Club Facility Includes HydroWorx Aquatic Therapy Pools
HydroWorx Utilized by Premier League Team

Middletown, PA-Premier League football club Aston Villa has joined Manchester United and Chelsea FC in utilizing HydroWorx aquatic therapy pools in its new, state of the art training facility.  HydroWorx pools are used worldwide by physiotherapists, athletic trainers and sports performance coaches to help their athletes recover quickly from injuries and for conditioning with low impact.

Former Aston Villa Operations Director, Steve Stride, said in a recent interview (with www.av.co.uk) that the facilities at their new Bodymoor Health Training Ground, “Will provide the very best players with everything they could wish for at a Premiership football club”.

Aston Villa purchased three HydroWorx units: the HydroWorx 2000, the Thermal Plunge and the Polar Plunge.  HydroWorx technology combines the well-known therapeutic effects of warm water with a built-in, underwater treadmill that allows athletes to walk or run naturally just as they would on dry land. The variable speed underwater treadmill, directional water jet system and underwater video feedback allow users to exercise at various intensities with less stress on the joints.  The end result is speedier, more effective rehabilitation.

One of the founding clubs of the Football League in 1888, Aston Villa was purchased in 2006 by Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner (the Browns also utilize a HydroWorx pool in their facility).  With Lerner’s help, the £13 million Bodymoor Health Training Ground officially opened July 5th, just in time for the start of the new season.
