arm exercises for the pool

Is there anyone out there that has found help for Lymphedema of the arm. Its bean 6 months for me and I am very frustrated.

Walking is great. And idk what the weathers like where you're at but if you know a place with a nice indoor pool they say swimming is really good too!

If the surgical wounds have healed, hydrotherapy is a good way to do the specific exercises as it bears the weight of your arm. The physiotherapist would give you specific exercises to do in the pool. The hydrotherapy pool water is much water than in a normal swimming pool.

Pool exercises is recomnended during later months of pregnancy.

t getting the nerve conduction the need. She gave me another set of exercises for my arms. Already have atrophy of my shoulder muscles as well. Michelle- yes I'm falling apart piece by piece. Want to take dibs on a particular part? The graying red hair, my useless brain? What about my right leg? Yours is going bad but mine is in pretty good shape :-) Jen- my neuro hasn't noticed it or if he did he didn't say anything about. PT is faxing him her notes and documented observations.

I have arthritis in both knees but I need to do more exercise to get my weight down. The problem is that it is very awkward to get on the floor to do most exercises & I don't swim. Any suggestions?

Perform functional exercises, which use your body weight as resistance, for general conditioning. For example, practice sitting down in a chair and standing up. Step up and down a curb or a step on your porch; this uses stabilizer muscles while improving your balance. Functional exercise burns calories while strengthening the muscles involved in the motions.

I did ask the physio the temp of the pool and it was 34 degrees celcius.....93F. Could it be the hot pool??? Hot days do fatigue me to the point of unable to function feeling weak but It has never affected me like this before. I was really shocked at the lack of strength in my legs when leaving the pool.

I love the idea of making a recumbent bike! Thanks jem201041 for that idea. Also like the idea of exercises where no standing is required and thanks Detours211for the link. I am going to check out that site.

This is how I got back on my feet fully after I seriously rolled my anckle it took 6mth to stop limping compleatly but the pool helps me maintian exercise even with the bad anckle.

Your old arm pain might have been brought back by spasticity in the arm... The strengthening exercises probably helped relieve the strain on the elbow joint. Definitely mention it to the neuro, and see what he says. Another take on it - your achiness in the arm might have been early symptoms of MS.

There are a number of free videos available through the pharmas for exercise. Two of the best come from the ActiveMS website, and are a general exercise and a yoga for MS. Send away for both of those and see what you think. For me, I do two wellness classes through work. "body sculpting" uses light weights, lots of squats, ab work, and working on arm and leg strength. I adapt the degree of difficulty for me, hang out in the back of the room and enjoy every minute.

Swimming is one of the best exercises for pregnancy! Make sure that you are only swimming in a chlorinated pool though, lakes and rivers could have bacteria that can harm your baby! I purchased a maternity swimsuit that was a tankini and I love it, I also was like 7 months when I actually got to wear it lol! Have fun and good luck with your pregnancy dear!

I love exercising in the pool (I did it for 2 months in a sport center)....but the wave in the pool made me very, very disoriented; and my pain didn't subside. Good luck and best to all.

This has been going on for 2 weeks now. I think I may have developed this from my fitness class exercises. What do you recommend? Tanlks so much!

Stand with with left hand on midsection and elbow at side then grab cable handle 2-5 lbs and rotate hand out to side without moving the elbow. It is an outward movement of the arm. The rotator cuff muscles at the back of the shoulder pull the weight out to the side. Keep elbow at your side though. Do sets of 15 - 20 with light light weight. If cables have to high weight then try wrapping a band around a bar and use that instead. Then I would do 3 sets of 15-20 every 3-4 days.

s not doing the exercises because he thinks there useless, (and I think it would hurt for him to lift a dumbbell with that arm too) . So I want to know, what exactly is wrong? My dad loves milk, drinks milk all the time, so I dont think it's a protein or calcium deficiency. It seems as if the bone is not there, its all jelly. If you squeeze his other arm, there is a stark difference in the composition; one is firm, the other is flabby.

If I were her in her shoes, I wouldn't want to be on prednisone long term due to side effects. Of course, prescription arthritis meds tend to be very hard on the stomach and can cause serious side effects as well. You might ask the neurologist about an MRI. She might try more natural steps, in addition to the physical therapy, such as Sam-E, OTC (naturemade brand has had scientific studies), which is supposed to be good for joint health.

A few weeks ago, I also tried some stretching exercises, to the point where I could feel pain, but my arm only hurt worse the next few days when I tried to reach with it. Perhaps stretching exercises are an answer, but I am afraid to make matters worse by forcing things when I don’t know the cause of this. When I press in around the surface skin of my shoulder or upper arm, nothing hurts, so whatever is causing this is deep down inside.

If you google blogilates arm workout there is a great one. Some of the exercises seem odd but I did it and for the first time ever saw muscles in my arms!! I could see them later that day. It's hard but imagine if you did it even just a couple of times a week.

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to this community & hurt my back Oct '06. I lifted a heavy bucket out of the sink & experienced excruciating pain in my lower back R hand side. Later that night I temporarily lost feeling in both legs, they were like dead weights - I had to crawl to bed. Next morning I was still in agonising pain & my spine was severly bent sideways - to the point where I looked deformed & felt like I was going to topple over.

lexx0415 your right on the money. Getting into the pool will help greatly. Even a relaxing bath once a day and when you sleep to have pillow support at your belly and at your back. Try not to sleep on your back. Other than that I usually get on my hands and knees at least once a day and curve my back up and down. That helps right before bed. My husband runs my back all the time and that always helps too. I'm 30 weeks in 3 days so I know what you mean....

There are tons of videos on you tube for arm exercises. This might help to be able to see them being done instead of just reading about them. I know it's easier for me anyway. I think 20 min. a week on your arms would be enough. I do 20 on arms, 20 on legs, and 20 on core per week. The weight your using is also good, your at 3. I use 3 and 5. If you go up I wouldn't go up more than that.

A proper warmup helps to loosen stiff muscles and get your blood flowing. To get your body ready for the exercises that lie ahead, do some brisk walking or other light activity that doesn't hurt your knees until you break a sweat. Then, perform some static stretches to loosen the muscles and ligaments before you begin. Take 10 to 15 minutes to thoroughly warm up your body, or follow a specific routine as set down by your physical therapist, if you have one.
