Those who suffer with arthritis, muscle spasms, back pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain find that using the properties of warm water during therapy/exercise assists in relaxing muscles, increasing circuation, and releiving pain are especially therapeutic. Warm water is much more comfortable, enjoyable, and relaxing compared to cold "swimming pools."

 

Viscosity of water provides an excellent source of resistance which allows for muscle toning and strengthening without tusing weights. Hydrostatic pressure increases circulation while decreasing swelling and inflammation. Aquatic exercise in standing depth water helps maintain stronger bones and reduce osteoporosis.

 

Aquatic exercise offers a less stressful mode of hitting all major muscle groups and the cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and nervous system in one workout - making it a great exercise for people of all ages and interests!
