About this title

Synopsis

For years aquatic therapists have used water techniques to bring relief to patients with back problems. Now clients with home treatable problems have a book written for them. Men and women with chronic back pain who have access to a home or community pool can enjoy youthful movement and relief from pain during the aquatic BackHab program. The BackHab program is designed to bridge the gap between primary therapy and club fitness programs.

While BackHab - The Water Way to Mobility and Pain Free Living is targeted toward the end user, aquatic instructors and therapists have found the book helpful in working with their clients. The author encourages instructors and therapists to freely copy and/or modify the BackHab program to help as many people as possible. With a variety of exercises they can mix and match movements to create a program suitable to their pools and clients.
