When we think of pools, we often think of splashing around and having fun with our friends, perhaps playing a game of pool volleyball, or just lounging around the pool with cool glass of lemonade and a nice book. Owning a pool is often thought of as a luxury in other parts of the U.S., and a necessity here in Florida. But have you ever considered the health benefits that owning your own pool can bring?
For those Floridians who suffer from health issues and complications arising from arthritis and other diseases that attack your joints, owning your own pool can help to ease your pain and make life just a little more enjoyable. When you suffer from joint and muscle pain, such as knee problems, it is important to build up your quads and exercise your muscles. But for those suffering from these issues, it can be difficult to support your weight on a hard surface, making the cause and the cure a catch 22. Luckily, there are many aquatic health benefits at your disposal. Having a pool available allows you to use the resistance of the water to build up muscle in a way that is much gentler on your joints. It it is a healthy and easy way to use your muscles without putting added stress on your already aching joints.
Another advantage to having a pool for exercise purposes is that just the sound and the feel of the water and your surroundings while you’re in the pool are calming and relaxing. So you’re getting the benefits of working your joints in a much more calming atmosphere than either staring at four walls or getting discouraged watching others work out on a TV screen.
