Courage Center Celebrates Aquatic Bodywork (Watsu) Week, April 18-23

MINNEAPOLIS, April 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Minneapolis-based Courage Center is preparing to celebrate Aquatic Bodywork (Watsu) Week by offering a free, 20-minute introductory session. The sessions are for those who have not previously experienced Aquatic Bodywork or Watsu.  Sessions will be scheduled at Courage Center's Golden Valley and Stillwater locations, the week of April 18-23.

Aquatic Bodywork is a gentle form of massage performed in warm water.  It combines elements of point work, joint mobilization, muscle stretching and dance.  Through deep relaxation and nurturing support, it combines movement, stretches and massage, creating therapeutic benefits and potential healing on many levels.

Benefits of Aquatic Bodywork include:

• Decreased pain and spinal pressure
• Improved sleep patterns and reduced anxiety
• Increased joint mobility and muscle relaxation
• Renewed sense of alertness and mind/body connection
