Recreational class taught by a certified instructor. Individuals will use low to moderate intensity movements in order to improve muscular strength, help increase range of motion while decreasing stiffness and pain and increase endurance with a minimum risk of injury. Good posture and proper body mechanics will be stressed. Program will take place in the lap pool at the 4 1/2 foot end using a buoyancy belt. Participants should have functional and relatively comfortable shoulder and elbow motion; be able to tolerate 15 minutes standing or walking on land without excessive pain, fatigue or shortness of breath. Participants may enter the pool via the ladder or the lift chair.
Offered in cooperation with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, this program is specifically designed to deal with the physical difficulties encountered by our friends who are fighting MS.
