This book/DVD resource shows professionals how to design aquatic rehabilitation and exercise programs across the life span for people with minor or substantial functional limitations. After a review of physiological responses to immersion and aquatic exercise, the book describes the history and treatment implementations of several current theories, within a regional and system approach, using case studies. The book is illustrated with b&w photos and drawings of exercises and techniques. The DVD contains about 50 video clips demonstrating nearly half of the book's exercises, plus printable evaluation sheets and other forms. The book will be used as a reference for physical therapists and assistants, occupational therapists, and athletic trainers, in addition to specialists in aquatics, fitness, and general rehabilitation.
