A member asked:
I am not a swimmer, does walking and stretching in the pool good for knee arthiritis and loose weight.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pool therapy: Walking in a pool does help take the load off of joints that otherwise would see the full force of your body weight against gravity. It can be a good aerobic exercise for weight loss and joint health.
