COURSE CONTENTS
Pros and Cons:
Aquatic therapy during pregnancy offers numerous benefits, including reduced joint stress, improved circulation, and alleviation of common discomforts such as back pain. However, potential drawbacks include the risk of overheating and the need for access to appropriate facilities.
Approach to Different Trimesters and Common Ailments:
Each trimester presents unique challenges. Tailoring therapy to address trimester-specific discomforts—such as nausea in the first trimester, back pain in the second, and swelling in the third—ensures effective relief.
Massage Practice in Supine or Lateral Positions:
Utilizing supine or lateral positions with adapted stretches accommodates the body’s changes during pregnancy, promoting comfort and safety.
Fluid and Rocking Movements:
Incorporating gentle, flowing motions helps release tension in the thoracic region and neck, enhancing relaxation.
Release Points and Mobilization:
Focusing on the hips, pelvis, and lumbar areas through targeted techniques improves mobility and reduces discomfort.
Use of Cushions and Floats:
Proper placement of cushions and floats supports the body during therapy sessions, ensuring optimal comfort and safety.
Information Gathering and Adaptation:
Collecting comprehensive information and adapting verbal and somatic support to individual needs fosters a personalized and effective therapeutic experience.
The 8-hour training, includes studies among the students and also practice with pregnant women.
The first part of the training consists of studying the importance of breath work to relax and calm the mind and soothe the mood, through simple movements aimed at the mother’s upper body.
The second module, at a more intermediate level, aims, with more lower body focused movements, to accompany the mother into a deeper state of letting go and inner connection.
Prerequisites: This course requires the completion of a basic course: WatsuBasic, Waterness, or TCS en agua 1®. The class will be conducted in Spanish, with possible translation into English
