water therapy

I’ve witnessed great results from Water Therapy which inspires me to continue working with people.

Currently I am offering for 1st time clients only a half price session to give you an opportunity to experience this amazing form.
Water Therapy is a passive form of aquatic bodywork/therapy that supports and gently moves a person through warm water in graceful, fluid movements. Water Therapy promotes a deep state of relaxation with dramatic changes in the autonomic nervous system. Through quieting the sympathetic and enhancing the parasympathetic nervous systems, Water Therapy has profound effects on the neuromuscular system.

Benefits
The sympatholytic effects of Water Therapy lead to enhancement of the parasympathetic nervous system. Physiological changes then occur throughout the body. These changes may include:

    * Decreased heart rate.
    * Decreased rate of respiration
    * Increased depth of respiration
    * Increased peripheral vasodilatation
    * Increased smooth muscle activity (digestion)
    * Decreased spasticity
    * Decreased muscle spasm
    * Decreased Reticular Activating System activity
    * Enhanced immune system response

Water Therapy helps decrease muscle tension and increase range of motion. The support of the water provides relief from compression forces in the joints. The movements through the water provide gentle stretching into all ranges for the spine and extremities while these joints are unloaded.

Clients report decreased pain as Water Therapy decreases their muscle spasm and muscle guarding, increases their range of motion, and promotes profound relaxation. Many clients also report a decrease in their emotional pain.

Therapists utilizing Water Therapy as part of their aquatic therapy treatment programs report the following improvements in their clients:

1. Immediate Benefits With First Session

    * increased range of motion
    * increased muscle relaxation
    * decreased muscle spasm
    * decreased spasticity
    * decreased pain

2. Long-term Benefits After Multiple Sessions

    * improved sleep patterns
    * improved digestion      
    * improved healing and immune system
       response
    * greater decreases in pain
    * decreased anxiety
    * many clients report a decrease in
their emotional pain

Water Therapy is being incorporated into aquatic therapy treatment programs in hospitals, clinics and rehabilitation centers around the world. Therapists are impressed by the benefits for so many of their clients. Some of the many populations who have benefited include those with

    * traumatic brain injury
    * spinal cord injury
    * strokes
    * Parkinson’s Disease
    * arthritis
    * cerebral palsy
    * chronic pain
    * fibromyalgia
    * ankylosing spondylitis
    * post mastectomy
    * post thoracic surgery
    * post traumatic stress disorder.

Many clients report that nothing else is as effective in decreasing their pain and improving their ability to move.
