Could Independent Aquatic Exercise Benefit You?
PLYMOUTH - Aquatic ex- ercise provides heart-healthy cardiovascular benefits as well as muscle strengthening with a low risk of falls or joint injuries. Mid- State Health Center’s 35-foot, 90-degree therapy pool is a great option for anyone in the com- munity to participate in some aquatic exercise and is open for registration now.
Matt Scagliarini, Physical Therapist and Director of Rehab Therapy Services at Mid-State says “Aquatic exercise reduces stress on the body and can help patients be physically active with less pain. The natural buoyancy of water also creates a senso- ry-rich environment and reduces joint compressive forces. The warmth of the water helps to relax muscles and promote blood circulation and healing.” He con- tinues to say aquatic exercise is a great option for those who wish to improve balance, increase en- durance, alleviate pain, or im-
prove their cardiovascular health. What’s more, is you do not need to know how to swim to have an effective workout in the pool. With stability bars, a hy- draulic lift, a bench with massage
jets, and deep and shallow water for non-weight or weight-bearing exercises, this pool has everything you need to have a safe and ef- fective exercise session. Aquatic Exercise equipment is available pool side for use as well.
The Mid-State Health Center warm water pool is open for in- dependent aquatic exercise now. Sessions are sixty-minutes-long, and are available for a single drop-in, or packages of 8 or 12, with cost savings the more you
purchase.
Although only independent
sessions are available at this time, Mid-State is looking forward to adding group aquatic classes and children’s swim lessons to the program later this year, a service put on hold due to the pandemic.
To learn more about inde- pendent aquatic fitness, pricing, or to purchase your indepen- dent aquatic exercise packages at Mid-State Health Center, please visit midstatehealth.org, or call 603-536-5533.
