Description:
Clients attend aquafitness classes for a variety of reasons. As professional instructors, it is our responsibility to provide opportunities for each participant to experience a safe and effective movement experience. We will examine strategies to promote joint friendly movement of the hips, knees and spine using the pool wall as one of the tools to support the enhancement of range of motion while elevating movement confidence. Learn a variety of joint focussed movement sequences designed for chest deep water and adaptable to recreational and warm water pool temperatures. Use these sequences as you see fit – an entire class or integrated into your aquafitness class structure.
Objectives:
1) Examine how the spine, hip and knee are structured to withstand the load of everyday activities.
2) Practice the joint actions possible at the spine, hip and knee.
3) Understand the importance of maintaining healthy joint movement for longevity, independence and strength.
4) Learn how to integrate the pool wall as a tool to self-monitor improvements in range of motion of three major joints.
5) Understand the benefits of Resistance, Buoyancy, Turbulence, Hydrostatic Pressure and Thermal Conductivity in promoting and sustaining joint health.
