Top 5 Pool Exercises to Strengthen Arthritic Knees

You can strengthen arthritic knees with pool exercises ✅

Water exercise can be effective in helping to strengthen painful and stiff knees. Starting in the water can help to reduce pain from knee osteoarthritis and make activities like walking and stair climbing much easier.

These exercises will help to strengthen important muscle groups like the hips and the thighs to help take stress away from the knee and make it easier to move around. You may also experience less pain, especially at night with the right balance of exercises.

The key with exercise and knee arthritis is to make sure the exercises feel good both during and after. If pain increases significantly, modifications need to be made.

Exercising in the pool has been practically a miracle for my knees. I strongly urge anyone who has access to a pool to try it. I would be disabled and not be working if not for the pool . Now i have to do the land strengthening. I know im ready as the pool has gotten too easy.

Thank you sooo much for suggesting some more of these pool exercises for knees-legs. I have been going to the neighborhood pool since the beginning of summer. Since school has started here in Austin Texas they have closed the pool so I will continue going to gym that also has an indoor pool. I will truly miss my vitamin D. Thank you so so much for posting these pool exercises!
