Training and Projects
Musical Hydrotherapy
Musical Hydrotherapy is an innovative therapy combining Underwater Listening alongside aquatic body therapy techniques to:
-
relax body and mind
-
inspire movement, stretching, vocalisation and stillness
-
enhance well–being
-
develop an appreciation to sound and music.
How it works
Underwater speakers are placed inside a hydro-pool and sound is heard when the head is placed in the water. The vibrations travel through the water and stimulate the inner ear directly, resulting in a perception of sound that is incredibly detailed, immediate and personal. The vibrations can also be felt in the body, and when experienced alongside guided movement through aquatic body therapy, participants have opportunities to reach a deeper state of relaxation. The practice can also help to improve communication, emotional development and motor and sensory skills.
