100 participants in 2 patient groups

underwater exercise

Experimental group

Description:

Hydrotherapy uses the water as a supportive tool to reduce stress on muscles and joints during treatment. Performing exercises in warm water: * Relaxes muscles, improving range of motion. * Can significantly reduce chronic pain. * Supports weight, allowing for movements that may otherwise not be possible.

Treatment:

Device: Hubbard tank

regular aerobic exercise

Experimental group

Description:

Aerobic exercise is a physical activity that uses your body's large muscle groups, is rhythmic and repetitive. It increases your heart rate and how much oxygen your body uses. Examples of aerobic exercises include walking, cycling and swimming. It reduces your risk of heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol

Treatment:

Other: Mat on the ground
