Water Works Wonders…the sea that surrounds the beauty of Cayman attests to that fact. Water training reduces the stress on your joints and strengthens muscles to help keep your body balanced. Now, you can try it for yourself.

Client Testimony:
"Water Works Wonders is an incredible mental and physical water program. I have been involved in this program since last year and it has been the best and easiest decision I have ever made when it comes to my health. I think the most important benefits that I have gained from this program is that I feel physically stronger and I am 100% pain free when waking in the morning. This was never true as I was always suffering from back pain and arthritis. The immediate benefit that I enjoy, as soon as you get in the water, is the release of stress. I am currently enrolled in the Water Works Wonders program twice a week. One of the lessons is with my 14 year old daughter and teaching her this stress-free work out will only benefit her for the rest of her life and at the same time strengthen our relationship. An excellent program that everyone should be involved in." - A. Fawkes.

Cayman Water Therapy with Donna MitchellWhen Canadian champion figure skater Nancy Kerrigan suffered a blow to her knee before the 1994 Olympics, she turned to fitness expert Igor Burdenko, who promptly told her to strip down to bare minimum and dive in – the pool that is.

 

Completing a Certification as a Conditioning Therapist in the Burdenko Method of Water Therapy has been transformational in my personal and professional life. In water, there is pain-free movement with optimum results enabling the body to get in balance for everyday activity without injury.  Here’s why water is the optimum environment for physical activity.   

 

Water is a gravity free environment with no-impact and low-injury and is excellent for overweight individuals who wish to trim down, athletes in training and those with restrictive movements due to injury, aging and lifestyle.  Water therapy involves use of the entire body in a choreographed water dance, not just injured parts, thereby enhancing overall conditioning. The warm water environment also promotes muscle relaxation and efficient movement in a healthy outdoor environment.  It’s also fun, releases tension and promotes a feeling of well-being.

 

In Cayman’s ocean playground, water is a natural outdoor gym and the principles of the Burdenko Method of Water Therapy incorporate six essential qualities that enable us to function on land more efficiently, improve posture and reduce stress on individual joints.  These six essential qualities are:

 

Balance, Flexibility, Co-ordination, Endurance, Strength, Speed

 

An ability to swim is not necessary to participate in the programme.  What you can expect is fun and frolic in the water to the sound of upbeat island music and entire body movement without pain or stress.  Seasonal tourists from The Great House on Seven Mile Beach, winter residents of Cayman Kai and year-round residents on Grand Cayman can attest to the fact that “Water Works Wonders”.  

Water Works Wonders is excellent for children, teens and adults of all ages, shapes and sizes. Please e-mail  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it  or call Donna at 929-7512 to arrange a class.
