Not required: it’s a wellness course
Acquantalgica is an active group workout carried out in warm water, designed for those suffering from back pain, joint pain or muscle stiffness. The warmth of the water helps relax the muscles, while its buoyancy reduces the load on the joints, making many movements easier and more comfortable.
Through mobility, stretching and postural control exercises, the course helps improve flexibility, maintain joint function and relieve discomfort linked to age or musculoskeletal issues.
Less pain, more movement
