Hey guys, hope you are still enjoying your placements.
Last week i had the opportunity to attend a hydro class with one of my patients. The pool was lovely and warm but to my concern for the life of me i could not remember any exercises that we had been taught in 2nd year (i think) from those hydro class that we went to. I rememeber something vaguely about using floats and weights and the water acts as resistance but nothing specific abuot exercises. It was quite intense for the whole hour trying to rack my brain and be imaginative, in order to come up with a progression and variety of exercises. Just wondering if anyone rememebers if we ever got a hand out or if any one has any bright ideas about exercises to perform in the pool. THANKS in advance, a response would be greatly appreciated.

hey hun, yeah I know what you mean, I had to do a hydro class every week when I was at KEMH for the antenatal women. It was really fun and probablly not as intense as the hydro classes you have to run on your musculo prac but I still found it difficult coming up with new and imaginative exercises to give to the pts each week! I remember that we were given heaps of info on hydro when we did it at uni but I think it was more all the contraindications and the therapeutic effects etc..so its probably not that helpful. I do remeber someone having a good book with lots of exercises in it though so perhaps you could find some useful info in the library or on the net. Sorry I couldnt be of more help..good luck!
