Knee injuries can be painful and debilitating especially if you are a very active person and are used to frequent exercise and being up and about.
Unfortunately, recovery from knee problems usually takes time and patience, with most high-intensity activities such as running or playing sports out of the question.
But don’t fear! Here we look at why simple exercises performed in a Outdoor Whirlpool can help to the ease the pain of a knee injury and aid long-term healing…
Low impact
As an alternative, many people choose home hot tub exercises such as leg-lifts and quad contractions to gently move and test the joint, exploiting the buoyancy of the water as it supports the body and significantly lowers impact.
Resistance
Once an injured or painful knee feels strong enough to be exercised a little more intensively, the water resistance offered by a home hot tub provides an excellent alternative to other more hard-wearing activities.
Conditioning
The exercises that can be utilised in a Outdoor Whirlpool can be used to relieve knee pain as they mainly target the quadriceps.
Rest
Simply lay back after a hard day, elevate the leg and let the bubbles do the rest of the work!
