Aquatische Körperarbeit

Aquatic Bodywork combines early forms of traditional Eastern body treatments and elements of Western health development and lifestyle. Water is the primordial element of life. Man originates from water and consists to a large extent of it (Lukaski et al., 1985). During Aquatic Bodywork, clients are embedded in this element. Aquatic Bodywork is an invitation to consciously perceive the connection to the water and to the other person, to remember physically the embryonic period and to take this trusting state into everyday life after the treatment.
Every human being is a spiritual, mental and physical entity, which is shaped by the family, culture and society in which they live. A person’s own life story also has a decisive influence. In addition to nurturing experiences, people are also shaped by emotional and physical burdens such as stress, fear, injuries or illnesses. Experiences from early childhood have the potential to influence our own lives as well as those of our children (Gapp et al., 2014; Entringer et al., 2009).
Aquatic Bodywork is aimed at the person as a whole. The basic attitude in this work is empathy, appreciation and respect towards the person, regardless of their life history, cultural, religious and social background.
Aquatic Bodywork activates the life force and potential in people. This in turn promotes the recovery, health, general well-being and quality of life of the client (Faull, 2005).
