How does warm water help reduce arthritis pain and stiffness?
The effects of warm water on arthritis pain can be attributed to the ability of this water to relax your muscles and relieve any strain on your joints. At Saguaro Aquatics, the warm water therapy promotes painless movement and is therefore helpful in achieving gentle joint mobility. It will also improve circulation in your body.
Moving in warm water can also let you relax your entire body. This will help to relieve some of the stress that aggravates your pain due to arthritis. Water supports you so you don’t have to worry about falling or hurting yourself as you try to stretch and exercise.
This will help you move more easily, improve your coordination, and allow you to be more comfortable every day. You will notice that you can move your arms easily in the water even when you cannot move them on land due to the pain.

Is this okay for seniors who have mobility or balance issues?
This would be a great choice for older people. At Saguaro Aquatics, we have an aquatic fitness class for mobility problems for seniors, which features warm water, chair lifts to enter and exit the pool easily, and low-impact exercises led by our instructors.
Some seniors fear any physical activity that may strain their joints and put them at risk because of balance instability. But this problem can be solved easily with the water. First, the warm water will support the body and prevent falling.
Gentle movements will build strength and stability without pain in the hips, knees, or shoulders. All classes are closely monitored by our coaches, who give extra attention to anyone who needs it. Going to group classes can make some people feel more comfortable going to the gym regularly.
