When you open the Aquatic Exercise Toolbox, Updated Edition, you'll find a complete system for creating, tracking, and billing individualized exercise programs that will quickly free up your valuable time.
This innovative tool is built around 197 water-resistant cards, each depicting a frequently used aquatic exercise. You can use these cards in combination with peel-off images of aquatic equipment (also provided) to help clients see exactly how exercises should be performed.
The components are packaged in a durable, easy-to-carry box and include the following:
-Water-resistant exercise cards. Laminated and reproducible, these 197 5 x 6.5 cards simplify the creation of individualized routines.
-Peel-off equipment cards. Affix these images of 10 different kinds of aquatic equipment to the exercise cards as needed for a unique visual learning tool. (Each of the 10 equipment cards contains 15 peel-off images in an assortment of sizes and views, making these very versatile.)
-Tab dividers. A great way to organize the exercise cards by category for quick and easy retrieval.
-Dry-erase marker. Allows you to easily jot down and erase instructions and other notes on the cards.
-CD-ROM. Print out this 62-page Reference Manual and User's Guide that includes helpful tips for developing programs, copies of the exercise and peel-off equipment cards, and more (available in Adobe Acrobat Reader format).
Aquatic Exercise Toolbox, Updated Edition, is the brainchild of three professionals who have spent many years teaching in the water, attempting to draw their own “stick figure” illustrations, and standing over the copy machine. It has been tested, tweaked, and proven to work in the real world of aquatic therapy and will quickly become an indispensable part of your everyday job, both in and out of the pool.
