Pool Therapy

Water therapy can be very beneficial for arthritis. Water can provide warmth and support as you do not have to be weight bearing (buoyancy). This can make exercising the joints involved by arthritis easier.

Being in warm water allows the muscles to relax , which can then make it easier to do the exercises and perform daily activities.
