This unique somatic approach could be the answer you've been seeking. In this article, we will introduce practitioners in San Diego and Vancouver BC, and hear the receivers' experiences from people who have tried this alternative PTSD treatment.
Finding Hope Through Healing Wave Aquatics
In San Diego, Healing Wave Aquatics offers a remarkable 8-week aquatic program (one session per week), for veterans suffering from PTSD. Through generous donations and grants, this program provides a lifeline to those in need, offering a safe space for healing and recovery. Veterans who have participated in this program describe it as life-changing. Before starting the program, many veterans feel trapped in a cycle of anxiety, nightmares, and hyper-vigilance. However, after just a few weeks of aquatic bodywork in warm water, they report feeling more calm, grounded, and connected to themselves and others.
