swimming as therapy

24/5/2017

0 Comments

 
​Otter Aquatics is now offering specialised swimming programs for men and women as part of a holistic therapy plan in the treatment of a variety of health and medical conditions including Type 2 Diabetes, Cardiac Conditions and Depression (including PTSD).

​There is considerable evidence to show that swimming can be particularly beneficial for sufferers of these conditions often in conjunction with professional medical, nutrition and exercise physiology interventions.

 
All fitness levels and all swimming abilities are catered for, from those completely unfit and unable to swim to those who can swim at least 25 metres. Instruction and coaching will be tailored for each participant's existing condition, physical fitness and swimming ability with charted progression aimed at improving fitness and health measures over time.

Our clients may be serving or former members of the ADF, other emergency services - or anyone else.


Sessions can take place in a pool or the open water depending on the capabilities and wishes of clients. The location can be in any of a number of locations in Brisbane, especially on the north side.

While the focus of the program is based on swimming for health and fitness, we are able to offer aquarobics sessions as well.
 
Participants may progress to join in Otter Aquatics' existing sessions if their abilities and health indicators are suitable.

Participants should ideally first consult their GP for an overall health assessment and advice on whether a program of swimming exercise is advisable. GPs may refer them to exercise physiology and nutrition professionals but neither of these are necessary to join our program.

The price is $30 per hour-long session for participants who have some swimming ability (including aquarobics sessions) and $40 per hour-long session for those requiring swimming lessons.
