Water For Arthritis

This program is designed for those with arthritis or similar chronic conditions and who wish to use the buoyancy of the water to reduce pain, improve strength, range of motion, balance, and flexibility. Why water for arthritis?

• Water removes the impact stress of ground reaction force.
• Water provides greater resistance than air helping to strengthen muscles and burn more calories than on land.
• Water allows you to work at a higher level that you could tolerate on land, which helps improve mobility and strengthen cardiovascular endurance.
