Aquatic Bodywork is a blend of Massage and Thai yoga massage in the water. It combines movements, stretching and stillness to increase mobility and flexibility.
Clients are gently floated in a warm therapy pool (95 degrees), supported by floatation devices, while the therapist uses gentle swaying
rocking, stretching and rotation, allowing the client’s body to unwind and completely relax. This type of treatment is also very low impact on the therapist.
“Dive” into the art of Aquatic Bodywork in this 2-day class designed for massage therapists, physical therapists, and orthopedic therapists. Begin your exploration of working effectively in water to facilitate relaxation and improve mobility.
• Master Aquatic Flow: Learn and practice a complete sequence of aquatic massage flows, integrating techniques that enhance the client’s experience while floating in the water.
