Training in a water environment offers the advantage of buoyancy which means less strain on your joints, better balance, and improved range of motion.
We all know how vital exercise is to our health and well-being. However, two of the most cited barriers to physical activity are chronic pain and limited functional capacity. It’s certainly challenging to be more active if you’re in constant pain. For some people, it’s understandable to be concerned that exercise may further exacerbate the pain.
But there are ways to work around this challenge. One particularly effective strategy is to employ aquatic training. Training in a water environment offers the benefit of buoyancy – there’s less strain on the joints, there’s the feeling of being more balanced in the water, and your muscles and joints can move through a fuller and improved range of motion.
There are also additional advantages: training in water can be refreshing and reinvigorating, especially during these hot months, and joining an aquatic exercise class can provide more motivation to keep exercising.
