Aquatic Therapy Modalities
Aquatic Bodywork is grounded in the holistic principle that the body, the mind, and the spirit are intertwined.
The professionally trained practitioner harnesses the remedial properties of warm water to induce relaxation and healing by carrying out a set of mindful and gentle movements, stretches, and massage.
Aquatic Bodywork™ has many applications; among which are the enhancement of physical and emotional rehabilitation, supporting prevention and maintenance, as well as providing rejuvenation and leisure in spa settings.
The Australian Institute of Aquatic Bodywork™ offers training encompassing internationally recognised warm water therapy modalities.
The Aquatic Bodywork™ Community
Our vision includes an international community of passionate professionals committed to supporting and promoting Aquatic Bodywork™ in Australia.
Whilst most team members are based at different locations nationally, our collective wish is to see Aquatic Bodywork™ develop in Australia as it has in so many other countries around the world.
Each professional contributes a unique set of knowledge and skills, together forming and delivering a high quality level of training and service.
