Therapists who work in the pool need special training to be safe and effective in the aquatic realm. But sometimes, even the best providers fall into patterned behavior when working with athletes in the water. This course allows you to step outside the box and become inspired to think creatively in the pool.
This webinar is also part of an ongoing series, “20 Novel Aquatic Therapy Ideas,” by Andrea Salzman, Director of Aquatic Therapy University. This is Part 1 of a 2-part webinar; however, each webinar can be viewed independently without confusion.
