Course contents

  • Pros and cons: analysis of the benefits and limitations of aquatic therapy for older people, people who are sensitive to underwater work, people in convalescence or physical recovery, those who wish to stay at the surface, and of course women during pregnancy.
  • Adapting the session to each situation: the trimesters of pregnancy and their common ailments, fatigue, loss of mobility, convalescence, apprehension of water.
  • Massage practice in supine or lateral positions: stretches adjusted to the month of pregnancy, mobility and stage of recovery, to ensure comfort and safety.
  • Fluid and rocking movements: gentle, continuous gestures to release tension in the thoracic region and neck.
  • Release points and mobilisation: targeted work on the hips, pelvis and lumbar area to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
  • Use of cushions and floats: positioning that keeps the body at the surface, supported and safe, without effort or immersion.
  • Information gathering and adaptation: verbal and somatic support tailored to each person’s needs, through careful assessment and active listening, in coordination with medical advice when the situation calls for it.

The 16-hour training includes movement studies among participants and practice with surface receivers: pregnant women, older people, people in convalescence.

The first part focuses on breathwork to relax and calm the mind and mood, through simple movements targeting the receiver’s upper body.

The second part, through movements centred on the lower body, guides the receiver into a deeper state of relaxation and inner connection.
