Comments

"Because you are pushing against the water, and not a flat object like the wall, you can't over stretch. It's not possible to over stretch the tendons that are inflamed." Lynsey

"It is helpful to work out in a pool that is above normal pool temperature, because it keeps the muscles and nerves warm." Katrina
