Warm water exercise is an excellent way for people with arthritis to build up strength, relieve joint pain and stiffness, and relax sore muscles. Water buoyancy greatly reduces the pressure on joints when exercising. For people with arthritis or other mobility problems though, getting into and out of a pool can be a challenge. There are pools and pool equipment specifically designed for therapy or to make pool access easier.
