Welcome To ICEBAT INDIA-2017

It is with great pleasure; I take this privilege as an Organizing Chair along with my organizing team to welcome all Aquatic therapists, Physiotherapists, Occupational therapists and many aquatic body workers from across the globe to be a part of this evidence based conference on Aquatic Therapy happening for the first time in India. Aquatic therapy has been growing since a decade (In India) and now has gained popularity with many therapists getting trained both in India as well abroad and are able to bring the much needed concept to the patients. We are overcoming local challenges of infrastructure, awareness and availability of services gradually. Your esteemed presence with your research will enhance this growth. With participants and invited keynote speakers coming from across the globe, it provides great networking opportunity to interact and grow this water family with intense information exchange. It is truly amazing to see how water bonds us all together in such beautiful way as therapists and provides a great advantage in rehabilitation of our patients. After witnessing many patients recovering, it is only imperative we make this concept grow and sustain in a systematic and scientific way with good clinical practicing methodology, documentation, research while constantly looking at evolving newer methods.

This inspires our theme of the conference “Flowing into newer dimensions”.

We are thinking out of box ideas and trying to integrate aquatic therapy with newer line of thinking. Our Scientific committee is putting together information that will involve looking at pain, gait rehabilitation, muscle endurance development, setting game based pediatric approaches and other keynote sessions. We would like to invite abstracts that have newer perspective to look at aquatic therapy in all the fields of practice of aquatic therapy.

The Conference is being held in Mysore, a known international tourist destination with strong cultural heritage. Come and explore; our culture, traditions, beautiful architecture, and the beauty of local art & handicrafts.

We extend a warm welcome with an open heart to visit India and share your experiences, knowledge, and success; also take some from our delegates. Looking forward for a wonderful time with you all!!!
