Benefits of using Aqua therapy cushions
Relaxing muscles and joints

Benefits of using Aqua therapy cushions

Our body systems change and fluctuate daily, Aqua Massage Pilates ensures your body will receive the workout or treatment that it needs on any given day. The warm water filled cushion will immediately provide instant relief, relaxing the muscles and joints. The parasympathetic nervous system activates allowing calm, relaxation and concentration. Body alignment changes as the spine adjusts to its natural positioning whilst supported by the water. Awareness of the core muscles increases and the cushion will help prompt muscle connections as the exercises become more challenging enhancing strength and posture. The warmth of the cushion increases muscle relaxation which can lead to feeling a reduction of pain and as muscles are stretched, ranges of motion through joints increase allowing ease of movement during the exercises.

Traditional Pilates matwork

Exercises

The exercises can be performed as in the traditional Pilates matwork with the cushion placed on top of the exercise mat, massage couch or combined with the Pilates machines. The cushion is also suitable to enhance and stimulate muscles prior to a sports performance or training workout. After a competition or a workout, it can be used to aid recovery, filled with either warm or cold water to relax or recharge muscles.
