At physical therapy today, I was in a rectangular pool doing my routines, and I was speaking with Cesar, the therapist about Watsu and his certification and potential training. In vocational astrology, I would suggest this training ESPECIALLY for anyone with a water sign Sun (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces), and also a water sign Moon. But I think this would work well with an Earth sign (Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn), and maybe even an Air sign Gemini. My late astrologer-friend and Gemini Jill McLane took my advice and did her certification and training in Watsu because she loved being in the pool.
What is Watsu? WATSU® is the principle form of Aquatic Therapy for rehabilitation. It promotes deep relaxation, quieting the sympathetic and enhancing the parasympathetic nervous systems. It has profound beneficial effects for trauma, both physical and psycho-emotional, with therapeutic application for neuromuscular injuries, stress, chronic pain, discomfort during pregnancy, and special needs.
Examples:
- People struggling with chronic pain such as Fibromyalgia, joint or muscle pain, post mastectomy, arthritis
- Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Expectant mothers --- mother and child float together
- People with special needs such as Autism, MS, Paralysis
