THE ARTHRITIS FOUNDATION WATER EXERCISE PROGRAM

The soothing warmth and buoyancy of warm water make it a safe, ideal environment for relieving arthritis pain and stiffness. It raises body temperature, causing blood vessels to dilate and increases circulation. Water exercise is a gentle way to encourage free movement of joints and muscles. It may also help build muscle strength. Talk with your doctor to determine whether water exercise is right for you.
