Program details

Exercising in warm water is one of the most comfortable and effective ways that a person with arthritis can exercise. The buoyancy of the water supports the body, taking the weight off inflamed and painful joints. The warmth of the water helps tight joints to loosen up and relax, easing soreness and soothing any pain.

The role of the water in your exercise class is two-fold not only does it soothe and support your body, it also offers resistance to your movements, acting somewhat like a weight to help strengthen your muscles while you exercise.
