Aquatic exercise can be extremely beneficial during this time.

Benefits of Aquatic Therapy During Pregnancy:

*Reduces swelling in the legs, ankles and feet. The hydrostatic pressure of water naturally increases circulation.

*Controlling pregnancy weight by keeping up with exercise during pregnancy is safe and suggested in order to help the weight come off faster after pregnancy.

*Exercising in water versus land decreases the chance of falling. Water is a safety net and is the ideal environment to work out in.
*Water therapy can help reduce back pain as a result of weight gain.

Today is World Cancer Day.
❔Did you know the correct scientific exercise prescription given by a Biokineticist could have a major impact in Cancer risk, prevention, treatment and recovery❔
Correct exercise has been found to conclusively reduce cancer-related fatigue both during and after cancer treatment.

Correct physical activity and exercise prescription minimises the effects of other cancer treatment-related side effects. Research shows that exercise during and following cancer treatment can:

*Reduce the risk of long-term heart problems after radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy;
*Minimises loss of bone strength;
*Reduces the risk of developing lymphedema;
*Improves anaemia (a red-blood cell deficiency); and
*Enhances quality of life.
*Exercise post-diagnosis may also influence risk of recurrence and death.

Not only does the World Health Organisation say exercise reduces cancer mortality, new research also suggests exercise may lower the risk of recurrence among people with cancer.
