In addition to therapy and a healthy lifestyle, consider regular water exercise at home for Muscular Dystrophy. The magical properties of water will enable you or a loved one to perform muscle strengthening exercises without the jarring impact felt on land.
Water exercise will help reduce water retention, increase circulation, limber and strengthen muscles, increase balance, and provide an aerobic workout.
Additionally you'll:
- Increase muscle strength
- Reduce atrophy
- Regain use and control of limbs
- Stay active longer
Imagine, your own private swimming pool, installed just steps away, set the temperature you desire; no traveling, no dirty gyms. All our pools fit in new or existing spaces, through doorways, downstairs, including basements & garages. Endless Pools are the synthesis of privacy and convenience!
"Water is a great medium. In a pool, people with neuromuscular disease can move and do what they can't ordinarily do on land," said Jenny Robison, PT, Department of Neurology at Vanderbilt University. Quote courtesy of the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
