This modality is done in water with your bathing suit on. The water is body temperature
and done in 4 feet deep water. The water provides a deeply relaxing environment where
weight and pressures are removed from the body. The patient is floated and rocked as the
spine is gently pulled and stretched. The effects of the stretches, which include stronger
muscles, and increased flexibility and joint Range of Motion, are amplified when performed
in a pool. There have been good results working with physically challenged people.
Freeing the spine is the focus at the onset of each Watsu session.
The weightlessness of the body in water provides expanded stretching and flexibility.
In the basic move, the patient is floated in the practitioner’s arms and sinks a bit as
they both exhale. On the inhalation, they both arise. This is repeated throughout the
session to create a connection, which is carried into the stretches that follow. The
flows of Watsu are the way one movement extends into another and creates a sense of
continuity.
I am looking into where I can hold this modality. I am one of 40 therapists in the world
that does this work.
