AQUA ARTHRITIS
Take it easy on your joints
and still have a great workout!
Water-based exercise is one
of the best ways to reduce the
inflammation and discomfort
caused by arthritis. Our warm
water pool reduces pain and
increases overall mobility while
the buoyancy of the water
supports the body’s weight
and reduces stress on the
joints. Water provides 12 times
the resistance of air, so simply
moving through the pool
will help your body build the
strength it needs to protect
your joints.

PILATES
Pilates was one of the first
styles of exercise to address
core strength, posture
and proper alignment. At
Dovercourt, our Pilates
programs expand on Joseph
Pilates’ original repertoire of
34 exercises by using modern
techniques, research and
equipment to help students
strengthen the body’s
“powerhouse”. Pilates will
provide stability and support to
the spine while simultaneously
developing strength in the deep
abdominal and pelvic floor
muscles. We recommend new
students begin at the beginner
level until they are comfortable
with the terms, techniques
and breathwork required to
advance their practice.
