Protocol

Dr. Vargas also formulated and developed the Diagnostic Aquatics Systems
Integration Theory which served as a basis and foundation for the design of his Pre-
Aquatic and Post-Aquatic Functional and Systems-Oriented Assessment. To date,
he is acclaimed as the creator of several aquatic therapy interventions and
protocols such as:

•        The Cardiaquatics Protocol

•        The Clinical Wassertanzen Protocol

•        The Adapted Pediatric Wassertanzen Protocol

•        The Aquatic Spasticity Inhibition Protocol (ASIP)

•        The Aquatic Pain Inhibition Protocol (APIP)

•        The Dynamic Lumbopelvic Stabilization (DLS) Protocol

•        The Aquatic Sacroiliac Dysfunction Protocol (SID)

These protocols are structured interventions designed in phases or levels for
specific diagnostics groups including the neurological adult patient, the
cardiopulmonary patient, the pediatric patient, the patient with musculoskeletal
soft tissue disorders, and the patient with history of medical or surgical spine
conditions among the many.
