begin the recovery process sooner.” For individuals with Parkinson’s, the


American Parkinson Disease Association recommends aquatic exercise for improved balance and pain reduction. In 2014, the European Journal of Experimental Biol- ogy published an eight-week Iranian study involving 60 men with multiple sclerosis that concluded it improved balance. Water resistance does a body good,


but the experts suggest one-on-one atten- tion for best results. “I strongly recom- mend finding an aquatic fitness and rehabilitation specialist, because not all exercises are beneficial for everyone,” says Sullivan. Wilken agrees. “A trainer can teach


technique and different ways to move in the water, as well as proper breathing and good body alignment. It will double the benefits.”
