Water Therapy for Osteoarthritis
Water exercise, known as water therapy, aquatherapy, or hydrotherapy can help people with osteoarthritis pain because of the reduced pressure on the joints in water.
Water workouts can be a good option for people with fibromyalgia, as they can improve overall fitness while limiting stress and pain to the joints.
Depending on the extent of joint damage, different activity levels are advised for people with arthritis performing flexibility, strengthening, or aerobic exercises.
