Chuck Fournier will lecture -- Water friendly place for arthritis sufferers LAYTON - For people with arthritis, exercise can be painful and difficult, causing many to avoid it. Unfortunately, lack of exercise can cause joints to become more painful and stiff, muscles to become smaller and weaker, and bones to become more brittle. The Arthritis Foundation has developed an aquatics program for people with arthritis, says the Davis County chapter. The water exercise program has been shown to help reduce pain while providing several health benefits. It is offered at different locations throughout Utah and Idaho and several is taught by trained, instructors in heated pools. One of the major benefits of an aquatics program for those with arthritis is Jiat the water supports body weight, therefore making it is easier to move joints that may be painful and still. While body supporting weight, the water also provides a gentle resistance to increase the strength and endurance of muscles. Exercise has been proven to help keep the muscles around joints strong, which can improve the ability of performing daily activities as well as ' overall health. . - The Arthritis Foundation has also developed an aquatic exercise program video that is available for purchase.
