Aquatic exercise helps those with chronic pain get fluid motion

For anyone experiencing chronic pain, land-based exercise is a tough one to consider.

But slip into a pool — lose 80-per cent of your body weight — and movement comes with great ease.
Add in specially designed exercises, and you’ve got the hydrotherapy program at the Hamilton Burlington Brantford YMCA.

In Motion began at the Flamborough Y in 2007. Because of its overwhelming success, it’s now offered at all YMCA locations in Hamilton, Burlington and Brantford.
