Aqua Walking – gentle muscle strengthening and joint relief in water

Aqua Walking is walking with poles in water, which thanks to the water's resistance effectively engages the muscles while protecting the joints. At Spa Resort Sanssouci in Karlovy Vary, this method is part of both movement rehabilitation and wellness programmes, especially for clients with musculoskeletal problems.

Treatment procedure and effects

The exercise takes place in a pool with warm water, where the resistance of the water is used for gentle yet effective muscle strengthening without overloading the joints. The treatment naturally engages:

• the leg muscles when walking
• the upper limbs, including the shoulders and the muscles between the shoulder blades
• the back and neck muscles
• the abdominal and stabilising muscles

Aqua Walking improves balance, posture, overall fitness and the body's immunity. It is also a safe and pleasant form of exercise for people who are overweight or have limited mobility.

We recommend Aqua Walking for:

• arthrosis and other diseases of the hip and knee joints
• rheumatic problems and arthritis
• post-operative and post-traumatic conditions
• excess weight and a need to improve physical fitness gently
• pain in the back, cervical spine and neck

Contraindications

The treatment is not performed in cases of:

• open wounds
• acute or inflammatory diseases

Treat your body to beneficial care that combines movement, water and an individual approach.
