PNF in The Pool By: Terri Mitchell & Julia Fettig
is a progressive approach to incorporating proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation patterns into existing aquatic therapy and/or fitness programs. PNF focuses on the spiral diagonal layout of our anatomy and how to rehabilitate or strengthen these muscular chains in the aquatic environment. The PNF techniques are presented systematically using hydrodynamic principles and aquatic equipment to demonstrate and enhance the therapeutic objectives. The PNF patterns progress from the pool wall, to freestanding,to deep water. PNF patterns are demonstrated in the seated, standing, supine and prone positions, as well as, in sports and fitness routines. The superb underwater video provides the aquatic specialist with a clear and comprehensive view of PNF applied in a progressive and functional format.

Applications of PNF Techniques in the Aquatic Setting

The aquatic therapy industry has grown considerably over the last decade as more therapists and practitioners understand the benefits of exercising in the water. New ideas, approaches and modified techniques have been introduced to the current state of aquatic therapy. As professionals, we have a responsibility to be knowledgeable, skilled, competent, and up-to-date. This book offers basic educational information regarding PNF patterns and many PNF techniques appropriate for performance in the aquatic environment. Also shared are approaches and procedures developed by the authors over a period of years of working with clients presenting with a variety of diagnoses. Detailed explanations of how to perform the patterns are given, along with suggested commands to a client for ease of performance. With over 100 photos to guide you through the spirals and diagonals, PNF in the pool has never been clearer, or more effective. Use of PNF patterns enables the aquatic practitioner to determine functional muscular imbalances during performance so they can be addressed. Advantages are readily apparent when addressing an activity of daily living (ADL) such as walking. Authored by: Terri Mitchell and David Ogden.
