Aqua Cycling for Lipedema: Exploring the Benefits of Water-Based Exercise
Manage episode 449511191 series 3393669
Today, I’d like to share insights from a study by a group of clinicians in Germany, published in the medical journal Phlebologie in 2019. The article, titled Effects of Aqua Cycling as Exercise Therapy for Lipoedema, highlights the benefits of aqua cycling—a form of stationary cycling where the bike is submerged underwater, with water typically reaching the rider’s waist to chest level.
The authors discuss the general advantages of water-based exercise, particularly for those with lymphedema and lipedema. Their research has certainly convinced me of the potential benefits that any form of water exercise can offer to women managing lipedema.
