Dr. Randolph Rosarion answered

Specializes in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Buoyancy of water: Will help to make exercise easier by lessening the stress on the joints and soft tissues. Just like an injured runner may simulate running in the swimming pool until he recovers. Just be easy with your swim strokes and don't over do it so that you don't reinjure or worsen your shoulder.
