Being in the water is ideal because your body is almost weightless. Lightening your body reduces the pressure on joints or fractured bones. This way, you can gain more support from your limbs and start walking more quickly. The warmth of the water also helps to relax the muscles and allows you to gain muscle amplitude. You feel less pain and you find little by little strength and balance.
