 - review of bookIt was OK. A lot of good exercises. Except you have to have equipment to go with a lot of the excersise, which I don't even know where to get Rating:  - Excellent referenceI purchased this book when I realized I would be doing aqua therapy for the first time. It has been a wonderful reference tool! Rating: - Excellent BookI run an aquafit class for any age, but mostly seniors. Most of them have one of the "spasticity" diseases - eg. arthritis, stroke recovery, Parkinson's, fibromyalgia, etc. With the help of this book I have been able to create a program that addresses the problem areas and have found increased mobility and pain reduction in the participants. I recommend it to everyone. Rating: - Wonderful water exercise book.Great for beginners.My mom and I have been searching for a good book for beginners about water exercise and this is the best we've found. It has great pictures that show you how your suppose to perform each exercise. Detailed desciptions were also very helpful.We liked the outlined program. Rating: - Specific exercises (w/illus.), explanations, precautionsThis book is excellently organized! Instructions are clear. Drawings aid understanding. Verbal description is followed by benefits of each exercise as well as precautions. Students AND instructors will appreciate the manner of teaching. Exercises are divided into beginning, intermediate, and advanced categories. Author not only tells WHAT to do, she also tells WHY. Third part of book provides specific programs for common injuries, listed by body part: e.g. lower leg-ankle-foot, knee, thigh-pelvis-hip, trunk & spine, trunk & shoulder, elbow & wrist. In addition, there is a chapter for special populations: Rheumatoid Arthritis, Parkinson's Disease, Fibromyalgia, & Multiple Sclerosis. This is a book one could refer to time after time, for greater understanding and expertise! page 2 of 2
