Studies Reveal Water Exercise Helps Ease Arthritis

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - May 1, 2013 - PRLog -- Numerous studies conducted by respected scientists and medical professionals provide proof that water exercises are beneficial for people who are suffering from inflammation and pain related to arthritis. The popular recreational activity offers the benefits of physical activity without exasperating joint pain that may be made worse with exercises outside of the water.

The notes that physical activity in the water is an easier, more enjoyable form of exercise for older adults and other people who are suffering from chronic pain and inflammation. Not only does water exercise allow people who have arthritis to stay active, but being active in the water actually provides improved joint health and decreased pain.

A Danish Study found that therapy done in an aquatic setting improved the strength and aerobic abilities of people who were suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. Health benefits related to water exercise are maximized when a physical therapist leads the exercise routine. A physical therapist is able to inform patients about how to properly complete exercises in a way that provides benefits without risking injury that can occur when exercises are done incorrectly.

Although water exercise for arthritis joint pain can be considered a physical therapy that may be covered by insurance, there are still copayments that must be paid to attend physical therapy sessions. Water exercise is recommended three times per week for arthritis patients, and co-payments can quickly add up. Fortunately, there is a cost-effective Arthritis Water Therapy Program for PBS TV's licensed rehab therapy practitioner, Suzanne Andrews.

The Arthritis Water Program from Suzanne Andrews features one DVD and two CDs to allow people who are suffering from arthritis to learn about how to complete water exercises that have been proven to provide benefits for joint inflammation and pain. An illustrated instruction booklet that is water resistant allows users of the program to review how to do the exercises while at the pool without having to worry about water damage.

"Suzanne Andrews Arthritis Water Therapy Kit is simple, easy to follow and incorporates everything you need in an arthritis exercise program. It includes stretching, cardio and strengthening in one effective program and incorporates the buoyancy of the water to ease joint stress," says Dr. Nathan Wei, the Director of the Arthritis Treatment Center in Maryland.
