Why Water Works


Water’s physical properties make it the optimum environment for physical activity and training.  Here’s why

• Water is an 80-90% gravity-free environment. Without the effects of gravity, we become light weighted and buoyant, allowing for freedom of movement and pain-free range of motion.

• Water’s natural viscosity allows movement and strengthening of injured or tired muscles without impact or injury.

• We exercise with minimum friction and maximum resistance working opposing muscle groups simultaneously

• Rather than focus on an injured or weak area, full body exercises in water normalizes the entire system building strength and support for injured or weaker areas making it therapeutic for repetitive motion used in tennis, squash, golf and other sport.

• Water’s warmth promotes muscles relaxation upon entering

• Exercising in water in the natural outdoor environment promotes health, well-being and a positive mental attitude.

• There is no sweating in water making it attractive for men in particular

• Everyone can be an athlete in the water especially overweight adults and children, and people with restricted range of motion due to illness, aging or injury.
