Benefits of Hydrotherapy Pool Workouts 🏊‍♀️

Water-based exercise offers unique advantages that make it ideal for Kiwis of all ages and abilities. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints while providing natural resistance, making Aqua Gentle sessions both effective and comfortable.

Why Choose Aqua Gentle:

• Low-impact exercise that's gentle on joints and muscles
• Warm hydrotherapy pool environment enhances muscle relaxation
• Water resistance strengthens muscles without heavy weights
• Improves balance and coordination with reduced risk of falling
• Supportive environment for those recovering from injury or managing chronic conditions
• Social atmosphere to connect with other participants

The warm water in the hydrotherapy pool helps to relax muscles and increase blood circulation, making it particularly beneficial for those with arthritis, fibromyalgia, or recovering from surgery. Each session is carefully structured to ensure you can work at your own pace while still experiencing the full benefits of water-based exercise.

No swimming skills are required to participate in Aqua Gentle classes. The supportive environment makes this an ideal choice for those new to exercise or returning after a break. 💪 Regular attendance can help improve your cardiovascular health, muscle tone, and overall wellbeing.
