How it works
Buoyancy reduces the percentage of body weight loaded through the knee during exercise. Warm water reduces pain and muscle spasm, facilitating greater range of motion and exercise tolerance.
Supervised aquatic physiotherapy programmes show the strongest evidence. Pool access required. Best used as a stepping stone to land-based exercise rather than a permanent alternative.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
