The book indicates the modes of operation and the practical applications of the various aquatic rehabilitation methods, drawing from both scientific evidence taken from the most significant publications in the field, as well as the practical experience of the authors. The text addresses the many aspects of aquatic rehabilitation: from its historical background to its physiological and biomechanical principles, the preparation of protocols and work programs to the management of patients based on their anthropometric and functional conditions, and finally the various objectives and pathologies in question. The volume places particular focus on practical applications in the context of specific diseases, with continuous references focused both on the scientific literature and the practical experience gained by the authors in the field. The test is accompanied by a comprehensive workbook, which includes 450 photographs of more than 120 exercises designed for the various anatomical regions of the body and for various pathological situations, using the latest tools. The volume is enriched by a video section (100 videos) dedicated to aquatic exercise. Potential readers: rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists, motor science graduates, swim teachers.

An inspiring collection of birth stories by a charming midwife.

Each time she knelt to “catch” another wriggling baby—nearly three thousand times during her remarkable career—California midwife Peggy Vincent paid homage to the moment when pain bows to joy and the world makes way for one more. With every birth, she encounters another woman-turned-goddess: Catherine rides out her labor in a car careening down a mountain road. Sofia spends hers trying to keep her hyper doctor-father from burning down the house. Susannah gives birth so quietly that neither husband nor midwife notice until there's a baby in the room.

More than a collection of birth stories, however, Baby Catcher is a provocative account of the difficulties that midwives face in the United States. With vivid portraits of courage, perseverance, and love, this is an impassioned call to rethink technological hospital births in favor of more individualized and profound experiences in which mothers and fathers take center stage in the timeless drama of birth.
