Aquatic bodywork, such as Watsu and WaterDance,
creates space for deep relaxation within the body
and mind. Warm water facilitates muscle relaxation
and creates a safe environment for movement. In
water, there are opportunities to stretch, manipulate
and hold the body in ways not available during
a standard table massage.
