Benefits of Warm Water Aerobics:
• Water assists you: Since water is buoyant, it lowers the effects of gravity by dislodging about 85% of one's body weight. Water also acts as a cushion for the joints and muscles to prevent stress on them. Consequently, patients moves with less effort due to the water support.
• Water is soothing: Warm water has a naturally comforting effect. It is soothing enough to help stretch the muscles and tissues, enabling easy and pain-free movement.
• Water increases relaxation: Exercising in warm water helps relax tense and painful muscles which in turn reduce muscle fatigue in fibromyalgia patients. The relaxing effect also helps to improve mood in fibromyalgia patients.
• Water provides resistance: Other than supporting the body, water doubles as resistance to increase the work of the muscles. This helps improve the patient's balance and strength.
