Aquatic Massage Hydrotherapy For People Workshop
A 2-day, on-site workshop held at the Aquatic Massage Hydrotherapy indoor pool in Toledo Ohio with instructor, Jonathan Rudinger, LMT RN.
Experience the mind-body-spirit buoyancy of Aquatic Massage Hydrotherapy and learn its basic moves and positions, body and breath mechanics and water-based massage skills.
This is pool-based hydrotherapy. Aquatic massage incorporates assistive movement, stretching (skeletal and myofascial release), stimulation of reflexology points, while floating in a warm pool, heated to 96°.
Aquatic Massage Hydrotherapy is an especially appropriate movement therapy for someone processing physical and/or emotional loss, change, stress, and/or anxiety.
The warm water offers both physical and emotional comfort. You float weightless in total ease and pain-free. Your body is supported and guided. Arms and legs, shoulders and hips, fingers and toes, move freely. Think of seaweed drifting with the water’s currents.
The water is so comfortable, it becomes an extension of your body. As you are moved across the surface, its gentle resistance pulls your body into a series of novel positions, that immediately return to your normal posture, your habitual way of holding your body only now as a “newly improved” model. It’s like a guitar string; it plays its note, returns to stillness yet retains the memory of the sound.
The experience is non-verbal, often pre-verbal. While the experiences are different for everyone, some common effects are an initial sense of mild disorientation, followed by happiness, and euphoria.
