If your doctor has suggested that water exercise may be good for arthritis pain relief, listen to him.
Water Workouts Work for Arthritis Patients reports:
“There is gold-level evidence that for osteoarthritis of the hip or knee, aquatic exercise probably reduces pain and slightly improves function over three months,” they noted. “Based on this, one may consider using aquatic exercise as the first part of a longer exercise program for osteoarthritis patients.”
You don’t need to swim. Many arthritis patients find that walking slowly in water up to their chest or shoulders helps to relieve pain. The water performs a massage on your body.
Some pools provide exercise classes designed for arthritis patients, so it’s worth checking to see if these options are available in your location.
