Ryall's Water Workout

Margaret Ryall-Egan designs and conducts aqua fitness programs for athletic injury prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.

Margarets's work is widely acknowledged by Sports Physicians and Physiotherapists who regularly refer clients for specialized professional aqua fitness rehabilitation treatment.
Pivotal to the program is the incorporation of sports specific exercises utilizing the Ryall's buoyancy belt and rippers, which were invented by Margaret to increase resistance while supporting participants in the no stress environment of deep water.
