Watsupath™ Training Institute is the the only training institute accredited in Spain to teach Watsu®, CranioSacral Therapy in Water™, Healing Dance®, Aichi®, Fire & Water®, Waterness Journey™, Aquatic Integration™ and Water Dance®, among other aquatic disciplines.
It was the first accredited institute of Watsu® in the world to be specialized in Aquatic Therapy managed by health practitioners, offering and crediting Watsu® trainings as well as other trainings in specific methods of intervention in Aquatic Therapy.
Watsupath™ TI was born to provide therapeutic tools to health professionals committed to the support and facilitation of people with disabilities and with different pathologies. It arises, therefore, with the objective of recognizing the value of Aquatic Therapy as a complete therapeutic entity, first option in some cases, and essential in many others.
Watsupath™ Training Program is present in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, Germany, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Hungary, Iceland, United States of America, Costa Rica, Mexico, Argentina, Chile and India, and is a reference in what Aquatic Therapy is concerned.

Watsupath™ was created by Elisa Muñoz Blanco in 2007, after starting her Watsu® training in Asia. She developed a connection network that soon became a platform of communication between professionals, teachers and students, not only of Watsu® but of all disciplines of aquatic bodywork known in those days.
The term Watsupath™ was registered in July 2012 together with CranioSacral Therapy in Water™, as a trade mark for advertising, management and business administration, concerning the establishment of franchise business consulting services, sales, education, training, sports and cultural activities and medical services.
Watsupath™ Training Institute was created and added to the training institutes of the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association in 2014.
At Watsupath™ Training Institute, we are committed to promoting holistic health and wellness through aquatic therapy, specialized training and a holistic approach. Our philosophy is grounded in the following principles that guide our work and connect us to the international community of aquatic therapists:
Our focus is on improving people’s quality of life, whether through aquatic therapy or by promoting optimal hydration. We believe in the transformative power of water to heal both body and mind, always seeking a balance between physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and environmental health.
We seek to provide the highest quality care and training, combining the most current science with traditional practices that have been proven to work. We maintain a high standard in our practices, ensuring that our therapists are prepared to offer the best to those who trust us.
Our vocation of service is deeply rooted in a love for what we do and a firm intention to positively impact people’s lives. Each member of our team is motivated by the desire to help others and create meaningful change through aquatic therapy.
We promote the building of a supportive network based on cooperation, inclusion and a sense of family. We believe that human connection is fundamental to the development of all members of our community, therapists, patients, teachers and students, creating an environment where everyone feels supported and valued.
We are committed to reaching more people and creating opportunities that foster personal and professional development. Through the expansion of our programs and collaboration with other organizations, we seek to make a positive global impact on the practice of aquatic therapy.
At our institute, we believe that effective aquatic therapy intervention is based on three fundamental pillars that guide our actions and enable a comprehensive and transformative practice:
Clinical sessions are the heart of our therapeutic practice. We offer a safe and personalized space for each patient to receive care according to their specific needs, always based on research and accumulated clinical experience. Through aquatic therapy, we seek to facilitate the physical, emotional and mental recovery of patients, promoting their overall wellbeing.
Quality training is essential for the success of our mission. At the Watsupath™ Institute, we ensure that we provide rigorous and flexible education for our therapists, adapted to the needs of the context and the latest innovations in the field. We encourage continuous learning that allows our therapists not only to improve their technical skills, but also to integrate innovative approaches and customize their interventions for each patient.
Research is key to the advancement of aquatic therapy. We are committed to generating scientific knowledge that supports and optimizes our practices. Through research, we seek to explore new techniques, evaluate the results of our interventions and enrich the global understanding of the therapeutic impact of water. We promote a culture of curiosity and discovery, ensuring that our practices are always aligned with the most recent advances in the field.
