Aqua Cycling and Lipedema
•Today I'd like to tell you about a study by a group of clinicians in Germany, published in the medical journal Phlebologie in 2019.
•The article is called: Effects of aqua cycling as exercise therapy for lipoedema.
•Aqua cycling is riding a stationary bike that is submerged underwater.
•The surface of the water is generally at the rider's waist to chest level.
•The authors review the general advantages to movement interventions in water and specifically for patients with lymphedema and lipedema.
•Their paper certainly convinced me that exercise of any sort in the water can be potentially very beneficial for women with lipedema.
