What is Warm Water Exercise?

Exercising in warm water is one of the most comfortable and effective ways that a person with arthritis can exercise. The buoyancy of the water supports the body, taking the weight off inflamed and painful joints. The warmth of the water helps tight joints to loosen up and relax, easing soreness and soothing any pain.

The role of the water in your exercise class is two-fold – not only does it soothe and support your body, it also offers resistance to your movements, acting  somewhat like a weight to help strengthen your muscles while you exercise.

How can it help me?

• Keep you moving
• Improve your coordination and endurance
• Ease stiff joints and relax sore muscles
• Help you feel better

Our Warm Water Exercise Classes

Our program is facilitated specifically for people affected by arthritis. All classes are lead by trained health professionals, with the minimum qualification being a Fitness Certificate IV covering hydrotherapy. A number of classes are run by physiotherapists and are eligible for health fund claim receipts. Our classes:

• Give you the opportunity to exercise with guidance from a trained instructor, in a friendly and social environment
• Are designed for small groups
• Participants follow the same routine, but your leader will show you how to adjust the exercise to fit your personal needs, such as varying the pressure you exert on the water.
