Looks like some serious updates are missing, as I mentioned earlier, this year has been fruitful for me as well as the aquatic therapy scenario in India. Two important steps have been climbed, I have become Watsu Practitioner and am registered under WABA now and can offer watsu Sessions. This was the first event of the year.

The second most important event was becoming the Member of International Aquatic therapy faculty and ability to use IATF logo in the courses happening in India. Also few hours of Halliwick therapy will also be recognized by IATF. It has been a wonderful journey so far, and will only become better now onwards. Waiting for An Aquatic therapy Pool to come up that will be all in one, Therapy, training and research center. Keeping fingers crossed until it is ready. All patients in India can start taking benefits once it gets established. And the education in India will start having some recognition at international level, though it is a small step.
This year has been very good for aquatic therapy, there were conferences and few awareness programs. Still further programs are on the way, will highlight the events that have happened in some time. Meanwhile after completing one of the basic workshop at Mumbai, the second Workshop is coming up again in Mumbai this October. The four day program will have clinical hands on with patients on the last day for understanding the benefits and challenges in aquatic therapy.

The workshop is again directed towards Physiotherapists and occupational therapists who want to start their career in Aquatic Therapy.
