Active Hydrotherapy
The goal of Aquanetics™, as in most therapy approaches, is to return the patient to an optimal functional recovery on land.
To achieve this functional recovery, Aquanetics™ utilizes hydrodynamic principles (Bernoulli’s theorem, Archimedes’ law, principles of buoyancy and turbulence, etc.) and active hydrotherapy techniques.
A typical treatment will include
Utilized by a skilled practitioner, the hydrodynamics of water can be effectively used to increase strength, flexibility, and endurance.
The result is immediate active rehabilitation that promotes a quicker recovery.
The Aquanetics™ certification course (17 CMT CEC credits) is offered as post-graduate study for Registered Massage Therapists in BC.

To achieve this functional recovery, Aquanetics™ utilizes hydrodynamic principles (Bernoulli’s theorem, Archimedes’ law, principles of buoyancy and turbulence, etc.) and active hydrotherapy techniques.
A typical treatment will include
- basic active therapy components of flexibility,
- range of motion (ROM),
- strengthening, core stabilization, and
- functional movement integration (restoring normal use of the injured area).
- decrease weight bearing on joints,
- increase support to affected areas,
- increase proprioception,
- increase venous return, and
- increase oxygen supplied to muscles.
