Every person wants to get old in good health but not all of us have the luck of doing so. Many elderly, suffering from Dementia, find themselves deteriorating in physical-, cognitive-, emotional- and social skills. Aquamentia is a new concept exercise plan, containing physical activity in water, specially designed to target this specific focus group.

Per session, the client spends approximately 45 minutes in the pool, engaging in several physical activities designed by the instructor. The client is supported in every way but independency during exercises is highly encouraged, for the client to maintain a sense of autonomy. The physical and psychological aspects of Aquamentia go hand in hand and are inseparable for people suffering from Dementia.

Many clients are confined to a wheelchair and are unable to walk properly on land. When entering the water, they experience a sense of weightlessness and increase the ability to walk, making it very pleasant. They also start recognizing several exercises which they have done before, thus training their cognitive abilities. Aquamentia is based on the latest scientific knowledge and aims for optimization of the quality of life and the aging process in the best possible health condition. We mainly focus on lots of different walking exercises
