Discover the Art and Science of Massage Therapy

Aquatic Bodywork therapy is used to alleviate pain and discomfort caused by a range of ailments. The idea is that the resistance of water reduces muscular tension and encourages relaxation and deep breathing, which supports general health. These Aquatic Bodywork classes will be provided in a private outdoor pool.  Ideally the water is heated to 86- 92°F, which is close to the same temperature as your skin. 

Your instructor is in the water with you. They assist you with floating and gently moving your body or your client's body in the water with specific motions, which may include pushes and pulls, gentle twisting, rocking, cradling, stretching, and massaging pressure points. The goal is to release tightness in your muscle and fascia tissue. It’s also an immediate nervous system reset.
