The pipeline scheme will be a 10,500 square feet facility that will be located at Eastern Avenue and 53rd Street in Davenport. The facility will have a higher ceiling, a pitching mound, golf net, running lanes and a lounge called the Chill Zone for cool-down after workouts.
The centre will also accommodate facility for sports-specific training. The new facility will offer new treatments to the Quad-Cities area, including underwater and anti-gravity treadmills to expedite recovery after surgery or injury.
The underwater treadmill is likely to help individuals to maximise their recovery potential by returning to functional training, such as walking, running and swimming, much earlier in their recovery process and with lesser pain. The anti-gravity treadmill to be used at the facility has been developed by NASA. The treadmill uses air pressure in a chamber to gently lift the user, and is used primarily for rehabilitation of lower extremity injuries and athletic training.
The building is scheduled to be completed by 1 January 2013.
