WatsuWatsu is a form of body massage performed while lying in warm water (around 35 °C or 95 °F)

Goals and indications for aquatic ex-ercise

• Facilitate ROM exercise• Initiate resistance training• Facilitate weight – bearing activities• Enhance delivery of manual techniques• Provide three demensional access to the patient• Facilitate cardiovascular exercise• Initiate functional activity replication• Minimize risk of injury or reinjury during rehabili-

tation• Enhance patient relaxation

Precautions and contraindications to aquatic exercise

Precaution• Fear of water• Neurological Disorders• Seizures• Cardiac Dysfunction• Small open wounds and lines

Precautions and contraindications to aquatic exercise

Contraindications• Incipient cardiac failure and unstable

angina• Respiratory dysfunction• Severe peripheral vascular disease• Danger of bleeding of hemorrhage• Severe kidney disease• Open Wounds, colostomy, and skin infeca-

tion. such as tinea pedis and ringworm

Precautions and contraindications to aquatic exercise

• Uncontrolled bowel or bladder• Water and airborne infections of dis-

eases• Uncontrolled seizures

Properties of water

Physical Properties of water• Buoyancy– The upward force that works opposite to Gravity

• Hydrostatic Pressure– The pressure exerted on immersed ob-

jects

Properties of water

• Viscosity– Friction occurring between molecules of

liquid resulting in resistance to flow

• Surface tension– The surface of a fluid acts as a mem-

brane under tension

Properties of water

Hydromechanics– Hydromechanics comprise the physical

properties and characteristics of fluid in motion

• Laminar flow• Turbulent flow• Drag

Properties of water

Thermodynamics

• Specific heat– The amount of hear required to raise the

temperature of 1gram of substance by 1ºC

Properties of water

Center of Buoyancy– The reference point of an immersed ob-

ject on which buoyant forces of fluid predictably act

Aquatic temperature and therapeutic exercise

Temperature regulation• Patient are unable to maintain ade-

quate core warmth during immersed exercise at temperature less than 25’C

• Conversely, exercise at temperatures greater than 37’C maybe harmful

Aquatic temperature and therapeutic exercise

Mobility and functional control exercise• Aquatic exercise, including flexibility, strength-

ening, gait training, and relaxation, may be performed in temperatures between 26’C and 33’C

Aerobic conditioning • Cardiovascular training and aerobic exercise

should be performed in water temperatures between 26 and 28. This range maximizes ex-ercise efficiency increases stroke volume and decreases heart rate
