Relief from stiffness in swimming...

[AaronS]

I was swimming with my two bubs today, and did a few minor laps on my own. The overall relief from stiffness in my body was incredible, i was just swimming underwater with a breaststroke, my morning meds had worn off, but i did have an aggressive strength cardio class about 5 hours earlier, but some level of stiffness returned..... has anyone else found this to help?

Regards Aaron

An encouraging anecdote.

I keep meaning to get to the pool. You have encouraged me!

Sadly, I don't get much benefit from swimming. When I get out of the pool, climbing up the ladder, my body feels like it weighs 500 pounds. Isn't that odd?

I think that’s normal. I don’t have PD (husband does) and I feel heavy when I get out of the water too.

Is it a heated pool?

[AaronS in reply to S70AWD]

no outdoors, im in Australia And it is freaking hot at the moment so even tho there was shade over the pool it was still heated

I swim in a heated indoor pool at the health club a couple times a week. It does wonders for me.

thank you for this, my conclusions were right, weather its the warm water pressure on the body or mild weightlessness feeling in the water on the body, it def seems like a benefit for movement issues 😃
