Aquacise Treating Pain of Fibromyalgia in Water The article I am reviewing is entitled “Treating Pain of Fibromyalgia in Water”, was written by Lynda Huey. Lynda Huey who is a pioneer in the use of aquatic therapy wrote this article which was posted on her web site www.lahuey.com detailing the lives of two women, who through the use of aquatic exercise have been alleviating the pain of Fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a syndrome that causes severe pain throughout fibrous tissues and muscles. Fibromyalgia is diagnosed in individuals who have experienced wide spread pain that has occurred for more than three months in combination with pain in 11 of 18 specific bilateral points in the muscle tissue. These two women engage in aquatic exercise three times per week, being that the pool is the only place where they can exercise without experiencing excruciating pain. As we have discussed throughout our Aquatics class, the buoyancy of the water eliminates the pain in the muscles and joint that is usually associated with land exercise. Lynda Huey has set these women up with a variety of exercises within the pool to fight their syndrome.
