Feedback on CALA Training (Courses and Workshops)
Finally the 'civilized' world is catching up with what
ancient societies recognized the "Healing Power of Water" and practiced
various forms of water exercise for centuries. Movement in water offers
multidirectional resistance in a non impact environment. Water supports
the body and cushions movement. When the water is warm enough, the pain
cycle is interrupted and the healing process is encouraged. Aquatic Post
Rehabilitation is not new. Recently, there has been renewed interest in
water as a therapeutic means of healing. Health Care Providers,
(physicians, chiropractors, physiotherapists, OT's, massage therapists -
to name only a few) in the 'know' are referring patients to exercise in
water. The business opportunities are immense. With certification in
Healing Waters, you can expand your business, bring relief to so many
people and contribute to the health and well being of your community:
win-win-win. Charlene Kopansky, Founder and President of CALA Inc.
