Water Exercise for Therapy and Fitness

I have started following the exercises in this book, as have developed lumbar facet dysfunction and chronic back pain. Feels good to be able to exercise without too much discomfort, knowing a it's helping to improve ones overall health.

I am recovering from a hip knee operation so rehab in water this is a concise book and easy to follow with warnings of what to do and not to do depending on you joint problems.

It's ok if you have exercise equipment that is made available - not much good if you are hoping to use the exercises whilst going for a swim at the local pool.

I wish they could change this book into an app for cross referencing. I injured my knee, had meniscus surgery, and thanks to this book and some exercises on you tube, I have made a total recovery. Much faster than at physical therapy. It seems that whatever you do in water is so much easier than on land, and once on land, you can still do it, and it doesn't hurt.Everything is clear and cross referenced for different injuries, and tons of clear illustrations

I purchased this book to do foot physiotherapy exercises for a recent foot reconstruction. Also, being in bed for more than six months I had lost muscle strength in my legs, arms etc.This book is awesome. I brought it into physiotherapy and the therapist said it was an excellent book. She marked all the exercises I should start with and then moved on to more difficult exercises in the book.This book is also good for seniors trying to maintain strength and others who require motion exercises.The book covers all parts of the body and shows the difficulty level of each exercise. It recommends a program to follow.

Great book! I wanted to be able to use my time more productively in water. Also, I was looking for a way to help the trouble I was having with my feet. The book is divided into several parts - some for more shallow water and then for working in the deep end so you can stretch out and work your long muscles. I also have an aerobics class in the water and this fits in very well when I'm working outside of class. At the end, she lists several problems and things you can do for each of them. The water is a wonderful thing to give your body as all pressure you have on land is taken away in the water. Also, your exercising without hurting yourself. Well worth it!

The illustrations are very helpful for learning how to use the exercises in the water. This book is very practical and easy to read, not much fluff. I exercise for well-being; my favorite exercise is swimming. This book has allowed me to add more to my swimming in order to exercise other muscle groups. I would recommend its purchase. I gave 4 stars because some of it is dated and a new edition (to show some of the new aquatic equipment) would be welcomed. That being said though, the exercises can be adapted.

Found it very helpful
