Ai Chi Ne

DESCRIPTION

Ai Chi Ne will meet the needs of therapists, aquatic fitness instructors, and Ai Chi practitioners. It is a simple aquatic balance program done in pairs. Ai Chi Ne has been used extensively for all balance deficits (CP, Parkinson’s disease, strokes), neurological and motor skill deficits, geriatrics, victims of abuse, Developmentally Delayed, Attention Deficit Disorder and ADHA to adjust physical and emotional balance. It is a safe, effective program that any one can follow.

The program, like its’ foundation Ai Chi, was created by Jun Konno from Yokohama Japan and brought to the US by Ruth Sova. The 74-minute Ai Chi Ne correspondence video features four participants in the pool (with above and under water footage) and in lecture

The Ai Chi Ne program will expand your client base and your therapeutic tools. A laminate and audiocassette are also available.

NEEDS IDENTIFICATION

Some of our clients don’t have the balance skills to participate alone in an Ai Chi program. This program will give them the extra support they need in order to benefit from Ai Chi. It is also excellent for clients who need healthy touch (some children and geriatric populations) and ADD/ADHD.
