CLINICAL WATSU® 3

• Students will learn to adapt a session: by screening (health history), increasing skills in evaluation of flexibility and range of motion (body scan), learn to adapt moves for special needs and the contraindications to particular moves.
• Students will be encouraged to monitor their ability of “being with” the client instead of doing something to the client.
• Students will learn the intent of each move and which muscle or joint is being stretched or ranged.
• Students will learn the fundamentals of setting up a private practice or being utilized in a rehabilitative environment, with insurance billing possibilities.
• Students will learn to design their own client health history, pertaining to their type of practice.
• Students will develop a deeper understanding of Zen Shiatsu, meridians and pressure points.
• Students will have the opportunity for personal growth and to expand their awareness of the balance needed between “CLINICAL” and the “Breath and Heart Connection”.

COURSE MATERIALS

Text: Watsu^® Freeing the Body in Water by Harold Dull (Second Edition)

Watsu^® III, Adaptive manual

A basic formula is used throughout the course consisting of terms, concepts and ideas relevant to Watsu® and presented in various formats.

1. Visual. The instructor presents demonstrations of individual moves to the class in the
   water and on land.
2. Kinesthetic. The students have the opportunity to move on land integrating and
   feeling the necessary posture and foot placement needed to accomplish the move in water. The students then have the opportunity to experience the move in water from the instructor, assistant and/or another student.
3. Auditory. The student hears the verbal description of the move.
4. Intellectual. Lectures and videos are used to provide context, rational and
   understanding. Dialogue is encouraged.
5. Integration and Repetition. Two times a day students trade with each other, reviewing
   and integrating theory, technique and practical considerations in the water while
   under the supervision of instructor and assistants.
6. A detailed manual is available. Reading assignments are required.
7. A skeleton model and charts are employed during lecture and are available for the
   student’s reference at all times.

The physical environment.

1. Pool size and land class depends on the place where class is being held. In all places, pool is 3.5-5 ft in depth, 96-97 degrees, with ample space to comfortably accommodate 4-7 couples (8-14 students).
2. Land class is held close to where the pool is located. Pillows and mats are provided for the students to sit comfortably in a circle, creating an atmosphere of safety for sharing, discussion and exploration of values, principals, methods and techniques.
3. Stereo, VCR, skeletal model and charts are used in the learning process.
4. The student staff ratio is typically 3 to 1: One or two lead instructors and 2-3 trained assistants (depending on size of class).

The learning environment is created by the staff and is a non-competitive, co-operative atmosphere. Students are encouraged to be accepting of their own strengths and vulnerabilities and to support each other in a joint learning process. Students are encouraged to explore the balance of technique, the “Heart Connection”, establishing boundaries and trust. This allows students becoming practitioners to become more aware of different levels of their being, and how to stay present and centered when their clients are experiencing what may come up during a Watsu^®.

Students will be evaluated during the course by:

1. Their attendance.
2. Their active participation during the course.
3. A demonstration of the skills mastered during the course.

At the end of the class you will receive a Certificate issued by Watsupath^™ Training Institute and the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association W.A.B.A.

Prerequisites: Watsu^® I, II, and demonstration of mastery. If you have been student in any of the IS-Watsu Instructors classes, please, email us to info@watsupath.com. The class will be taught in English and Spanish.
