AquaBility: I wholeheartedly support this course and manual. You are sure to gain essential information to design, implement and manage post-rehab and rehab programming. The content is broad, well-researched and up-to-date. Leadership, diagnoses considerations, movement modifications and program design are all covered with an addition of an excellent research section. AquaBility gives you the tools to understand the needs of clients who have been released from therapy but still have a myriad of issues. Written by Connie Jasinskas, the manual goes from resources and research, through actual exercise progressions and a diagnosis section. AquaBility is a much-needed tool and I recommend it to all aquatic exercise practitioners. Ms. Jasinskas makes the practical aspects of pool training interesting and easy to understand. Her knowledge and broad practical experience provide credibility to this valuable source. Ruth Sova MS, ATRIC, President, Aquatic Therapy & Rehab Institute, Inc. [email protected]
