Aquacise
Join us as we exercise and stretch in the therapy pool! Aquacise will target major muscle groups to get in a total body workout in the water each week. This
water exercise program is designed to fit each participant’s intensity, endurance and physical ability. Staff will provide the level of assistance needed to
perform each exercise. NSSRA will not be running programs on Wednesday, September 19 in light of Yom Kippur. Please note that this program will begin one
week late on Wednesday, September 26.
Goals: Increase physical endurance, strength and flexibility in the water. Improve knowledge of exercise skills. Enhance independence in participation.

Horseback Riding
Saddle up! Equestrian Connection is a one-of-a-kind stable that provides therapeutic horseback riding specifically designed for individuals with special
needs. Participants will work to gain strength, flexibility and balance through riding. Each participant will learn how to ride, groom, saddle and tack a horse.
During the program, the group will also be engaged in other horse-related activities and a snack will be provided each week. A waiver will be sent prior
to program and must be returned to the NSSRA office by Friday, September 7. Note: As a safety precaution for all, participants over 250
pounds will do ground work with horses instead of riding. Participants with physical and medical conditions, please use caution. No program
September 27.
Goals: Increase flexibility and range of motion while on the horse. Gain self-confidence and a sense of control through stable skills. Develop companionship
with the horse and a sense of responsibility.
