The unique qualities of water provide exceptional benefits to people with MS. Water helps people with MS move in ways they may not be able to on land. The cooler water of a pool can help regulate body temperature, the buoyancy of the water can promote relaxation and increase your range of motion, the resistance of the water can allow you to improve muscle strength and work on balance. It has also been shown to improve mood, decrease depression, and provide you with a social network amongst those in your aquatics class.
