A session usually starts above water. once the breathing and movement are coordinated and an sense of trust is established, the patient can begin to go underwater. the dives in the first phase are short and gradually become longer. the therapist\u00a0 guides the movement of the patient in the water as if its a dance (flowing, spiraling and twisting).\r\nHealing dance\r\nHealing dance combines Waterdance, Trager approach, Watsu and Pure movement in 3-dimensions. thereby combining the freedom and 3-dimensionality with safety and nurturing of Watsu. This technique has over 20 different spacious and hydrodynamic movements. A session is, most of the time, entirely above water, but due to the free waving movements patients can experience the same effects as during a waterdance session.\r\nthere are 4 levels of healing dance: basic, advanced, above and below and finally shape and space.\u00a0more info on the levels<\/em>\r\nHydrotherapy equipment\r\n\r\n \tMovable swimming pool floor<\/a>\r\n \tModular pool<\/a>\r\n \tUnderwater treadmill<\/a>\r\n\r\nBronnen\r\nWatsu<\/a>, Saskia van Rees (the Watsu Instituut The Netherlands)\r\nwatsu and healing dance applications<\/a>, Saskia van Rees (the Watsu Instituut The Netherlands)\r\nAbout Healing dance<\/a>, Saskia van Rees (the Watsu Instituut The Netherlands)\r\nWaterdance or Wata<\/a>, Saskia van Rees (the Watsu Instituut The Netherlands)\r\nApplications of watsu<\/a>, Peggy Schoedinger (watsu)\r\nWata - Waterdance,<\/a>\u00a0 by Waterdance Wata\r\nWatsu<\/a>, By Waterdance Wata","link":"https:\/\/ewachub.orgo.ee\/medical\/knowledge\/aquatic-therapy-knowledge\/methods\/watsu\/","name":"Watsu","slug":"watsu","taxonomy":"knowledge-category","parent":27,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ewachub.orgo.ee\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-category\/43","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ewachub.orgo.ee\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-category"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ewachub.orgo.ee\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/knowledge-category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ewachub.orgo.ee\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-category\/27"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/ewachub.orgo.ee\/medical\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge?knowledge-category=43"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
