Instructor:
Alison Bonnyman
Overview:
This webinar will explore the state of aquatic therapy in Canada, it’s role as a modality, and why PTs/PTAs want to continue to provide aquatic therapy. Aquatic Therapy is inconsistently taught in the Masters Programs but remains a modality we are expected to perform and/or delegate – Let’s talk about it!
