WATSU® Aquatic & Bodywork Therapy
Watsu is a gentle therapy involving floating in warm water. A therapist cradles the patient, working the spine, joints, and muscles through specific stretches, rocking, and rhythmical movements. Stillness encourages the release of tightness, tension, and stress. This modality complements land-based physiotherapy for Cerebral Palsy, Autism, and other disorders, effective for able-bodied children and adults.
