Venue: Turkey, Istanbul,
The event's web page: http://www.globalspasummit.org/index.php/summit-2010
At the beginning of the 2000's, a group of industry leaders decided to create and fund a conference modeled in part after the successful format of the not-for-profit World Economic Forum held each year in Davos, Switzerland, where leaders from all parts of the world gather to solve shared problems. Thus the Global Spa Summit was founded. The Global Spa Summit is held annually, beginning on the third Sunday in May. Visit the archive to learn more about the 2007, 2008, and 2009 summits.

A variety of interactive sessions are on the Summit agenda. They include panel-led discussions, general sessions, small group breakout sessions, and hosted dining conversations. Efforts are made to ensure that all attendees participate at whatever level they choose: observer, speaker, panelist, contributor, questioner, or table host. Standard business attire is recommended for all Summit sessions. For social events, delegates may dress in business casual. Interpreters will be made available for groups upon request in the online registration questionnaire.

Each year's Global Spa Summit agenda is exciting and unique. The agenda develops over time right up until the Summit and, therefore, features the very issues of the moment, giving the GSS the vibrancy and relevancy that have become its trademark. As invited delegates register, their expertise, interests, and areas of greatest concern are noted. This information, global events, and industry trends are considered as the Summit agenda takes shape.

Fore more details about the 4th Annual Global Spa Summit in Istanbul please visit the website: http://www.globalspasummit.org/index.php/summit-2010 and read the attached agenda.

About the Venue:
Zalakaros is located in the south-western part of Hungary amongst beautiful and tranquil settings.
The area is surrounded by vineyards and fruit orchards, forests, grooves, gently sloping hills and fishing ponds all creating romantic atmosphere. The diverse region offers several bicycle and trekking routes to those, who would like to have an active holiday.
The tiniest city of Hungary gained fame by chance in 1967, when an oil prospect drilling resulted in a nearly 96ºC hot thermal spring coming up from 1000 meter. These circumstances provided the base of the re-introduction of the customs of the ancient Roman bath culture that once flourished in Pannonia. The certified medical water proved very effective in the treatment of chronic arthritis, chronic gynaecological, dental and rheumatic diseases, and prior to and after orthopaedic surgeries, neurosurgeries and operations.
In this small section of the Balaton Region several places of cultural and natural interest can be found within 50 km distance; the Little Balaton Natural Reserve, the archeological findings of Fenékpuszta from the Roman era, the bird ringing station, the buffaloo reserve of Kápolnapuszta, the outdoor village museums of Vörs and Galambok.
Besides the fascinating conditions, the hospitality and politeness of the locals makes your Zalakaros stay perfect.
Hidden in the heart of Zalakaros, surrounded by a ‘Paradise garden’ the Hotel Karos Spa presents 221 room of the distinctive Spa Superior design and various offers to small and big families or individual guests.
All the different services of the Spa Medical and Health Center and the ‘Alma’ Spa-Wellness World – wellness, fitness, medical and Spa services – are available for the guest, who seeks leisure and regeneration.
In the island of perfect relaxation and pampering, at the Hotel Karos Spa everybody – adults and children as well – can forget the troubles and rushes of the world.

The programme covers most of the fields in Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine : neurological and/or musculoskeletal disorders, funtionnal assessment, PRM in childhood, vascular rehabilitation, prosthetics, perineal rehabilitation, organization and funding of PRM activity, etc. Unusual themes will be addressed, such as "PRM in Humanitarian Medicine" or "Medical supervision of outdoor pursuits and extreme sports".

This year, the SOFMER President, Prof. Jacques Pélissier and Prof. Alain Delarque, SOFMER delegate at the ESPRM, have both expressed a strong need to expand into the European dimension. For the first time, translation into English through the supply of individual earphones will be provided in one room throughout the whole congress. On Friday, four "European Sessions" will be organized, in cooperation with different colleagues from all parts of Europe. Papers have been selected from more than 25 foreign countries, including 15 European countries.

We do hope that this important event, which will take place in the wonderful location on the North Coast of Brittany, will attract your attention. We are looking forward to welcoming you in Saint-Malo !

AQUAEVIDENCE: An intensive course: The Evidence Base for Aquatic Therapy in Persons with Disabilities
Click the icon to download the date of the event into your calendar program.  (For example: Microsoft Outlook) Start: 2007.07.01.End: 2007.07.04.
Venue: Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Belgium
Activity in water or aquatic therapy1 has decided advantages for persons with health-related problems resulting in impairments, activity limitations, and participation restrictions (WHO, 2001). Water based activity is said to aid in the relief of pain and muscle spasm, maintain or increase range of motion, strengthen and re-educate weak and/or paralyzed muscles, improve circulation, lung function, and speech, and preserve and improve balance, co-ordination and posture (Cole & Becker, 2003). While aquatic therapy is particularly popular in dealing with e.g. Rheumatism and Orthopaedic problems (Prins & Cutner, 1999), therapeutic activity in water is also offered for persons with Stroke, SCI, MS, Parkinson and CP (Lambeck, 2001).

Recreational as well as therapeutic activities are equally at home in water and all ages take part. A water based program provides excellent variety to an exercise program (Congdon, 1997). Aquatic facilities exist at or are used by numerous health care centres, major books have been published on rehabilitation in water and numerous courses are offered on “philosophies“ of aquatic rehabilitation such as Halliwick, Bad Ragaz Ring Method, and Watsu. Nevertheless, in a 20 year review of rehabilitation literature on the use of aquatic therapy for children and adolescents with neuromuscular and musculoskeletal diagnoses, Dumas and Francesconi (2001) state that most of the available articles are case reports and other descriptions of clinical practice. This is also the case when dealing with many other patient groups (Cladera, 2003) with the notable exception of Rheumatology and Orthopaedics, (Geytenbeek (2002).

Aquatic therapy includes a large hands-on component, especially in neurological and paediatric rehabilitation. In these populations treatment is varied and complex, and aquatic therapy is usually only a minor component. Nonetheless, this might have an important place in long term rehabilitation where the effect of any treatment is smaller in measurable terms.
Quantifying the effect of aquatic therapy has, as a consequence, not gained sufficient attention.
Water has an attraction of its own and swimming itself is a popular activity inducing self management and adherence. In the age of evidence based practice it seems appropriate to ask the question “What exactly is the outcome of systematic aquatic therapy for persons with disabilities?” Does aquatic therapy improve function, prevent regression of function? Might the persons who can perform little other activity independently “feel better” resulting in an increased quality of life despite no quantifiable physical changes?

1 Aquatic therapy: Movement or exercise in an Aquatic (water) environment with an intended therapeutic outcome (systematic exercise therapy during immersion in water resulting in a therapeutic outcome through stimulation of short and long-term adaptive (physiological) mechanisms in persons with a deranged biological system).

Teaching strategy:
In this 2 week intensive course the evidence base (Sackett et al, 2000) for aquatic therapy in Pulmonary, Neuromuscular, Rheumatologic and Orthopaedic diseases and disabilities will be reviewed. Groups of specialists will analyse and discuss the following:
1. Concepts of Aquatic Therapy
2. The direct and long term goals of rehabilitation in the populations in question.
3. The results of a systematic review of the evidence on aquatic therapy using the Cochrane strategy.
4. Dry land treatments with similar goals.
5. Field tests for continuous evaluation of treatment in both water and on dry land.
6. Contra indications of aquatic therapy in these populations.
7. The economic (cost/benefit) implications of aquatic therapy.

Knowledge and competences acquired

Knowledge:
The course participant will have a good quality overview of the research base for aquatic therapy in the goal populations.

Competence:
The participant will be able to:
- Perform a systematic review of a research article and classify the evidence.
- Consult in a treatment team on the advisability of the use of aquatic therapy for individuals from diverse populations and develop treatment guidelines for these persons.

Registration
A maximum of 20 students will be admitted to the course with priority given to students from the participating Universities. When sufficient space is available other students (or professionals) can be admitted. Academic credit can be arranged for this course. The final selection is made at the home University.

Course Organisation

Participant profile:
Allied Health professionals who are completing the final degree needed to enter the profession and those specialized in AT. Each student will be assigned a mentor upon admittance. The course will be taught in ENGLISH.

Participant preparation:
The participant will access written and multi-media material via the web prior to the course. They will be asked to prepare a review of several articles from one area population to be dealt with and present during the intensive course. Literature in the native language when not English will be of particular interest.
The course period 13 (10 full) days:
The course will be divided into mini-modules each dealing with one population. During each module presenter(s) will handle the 7 points in the strategy above. Time will be devoted to organisation and a refresher of the Cochrane systematic literature review strategy and overview of research methodological techniques. Practical sessions in water with actual patients will be part of each module as well as student presentations

Post course and evaluation:
The participant will make a comparative study of several cases in a single population based on own treatment experience and compare the results to the evidence in a written report. The participants own presentations will also be evaluated.

Fees
Students from the participating Universities will be asked to provide a fee of 250 Euro. These students will then receive a substantial travel allowance to and from Belgium, complete room and partial board for the entire period of the course. Other students will pay a fee of 1000 Euro. This fee includes insurance, registration as a guest student in Leuven, room for the entire period, lunch and field trip fees.

First time in continental Europe!

Description:
Ai Chi, a combination of T’ai Chi, Shiatsu and Watsu, is an excellent continuation of the Halliwick balance activities. In general it is done in groups, using music to enhance relaxation in combination with breath control and balance. It is another way to work with groups of patients, which is recognized not only in Japan but also in e.g. the USA and Brazil. For the first time in continental Europe, Mr. Konno will teach an Ai Chi workshop.

This workshop will provide in-depth instruction in the use of Ai-Chi techniques in a clinical setting for orthopedic, neurological and rheumatic impairments. The emphasis will be on extensive instruction and practice time in the pool.

Objectives:
At the completion of this module participants will be able to:
- Understand the physiological immersion effects on relaxation and their therapeutic applications
- Ai Chi techniques in a clinical setting for patients with orthopedic, neurological and/or rheumatic impairments
- Follow the simple Ai Chi progression, the Wall Ai Chi, Ai Chi Ne and be introduced to the concepts of moving with nature.
- Experience the trunk stability movements with guidelines on proper pelvic mechanics during Ai Chi

Jun Konno Creator of Ai Chi, is one of Japan's a foremost swimming coaches and fitness consultants and the President of Aqua Dynamics Institute (Japanese chapter of AEA/ATRI).
