Description
This aquatic post rehabilitation course is designed to give a comprehensive overview of exercises suitable for a general population recovering from injury, post replacement surgery, and other debilitating conditions that prevent them from enjoying full mobility with daily living. In other words, this program is for less fit population or aging older adults.
The learning objective is to understand anatomy, safe joint range, muscle action and overall fitness levels requirements to be able to design and oversee safe exercise programs that will help each person return, as close as possible to, or improve upon, their previous levels of mobility. The goal is to provide overall mobility for recovery. Therefore the regions of focus will cover suggested exercises for : the cervical, thoracic and lumbar areas of the spine, and the shoulder, hip , knee and ankle joint areas. These exercises will provide the Instructor with a generic base of safe, adaptable movement that can be combined to create programs suitable to each client’s personal needs.
