You weigh only 10 per cent of your body weight in water. if you are 60 kg on land, you weigh 6 kg in water. so automatically the joints get unloaded since there is no weight pressure on them. People suffering from arthritis, osteoporosis and frozen shoulders can work the flab since you are the buoyancy of the water-and not the gravitational pull-to add resistance to weight-bearing exercises?
2. It helps strengthen the spinal cord and is therefore beneficial to the people with back problems and spinal cord injuries.
