Aquatic Massage is a gentle type of
health massage therapy that takes advantage of the anti gravity
featured by most therapeutic pools. The therapy is done whilke the
client is floating or soaking in a pool. The pool provides the
almost wieghtless sensation to the patient's body. The water is kept
at a temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit, in order to promote
further relaxation. And a skilled therapist uses a variety of
massage techniques, spine softening movements, opening stretches,
and dynamic stillness. The therapist and the water work hand in hand
together to activate and empower the body's innate movement towards
balance. This type of treatment is dieal for people suffering from
muscular ailments (e.g. arthritis, osteoarthritis and rheumatism).
