Arthritis Pain Relief – the Benefits of Warm Water
Water – especially warm water – is a safe, ideal solution for arthritis pain and stiffness. In fact, it is so effective that the Arthritis Foundation created a water-based immersion program to relieve arthritis pain. Immersion in warm water relieves stiff joints and associated pain, keeps the joints moving, increases their range of motion, and maintains and/or builds muscle strength.
The Arthritis Foundation highlights the fact that moderate exercise can improve your overall health without hurting your joints. When you exercise in the soothing environment of water, the strain on your muscles and joints is greatly diminished.
Additionally, according to new research by Marlene Fransen, Ph.D., hydrotherapy, or aquatic therapy, provides exceptional relief for joint pain, which improves physical performance and function. Dr. Fransen’s study involved subjects with osteoarthritis, or OA, of the knees and hips; learn more about Dr. Fransen’s findings (posted to the Arthritis Foundation’s website on April 4, 2007).
