Volume 10, Number 4, July/ August 2003
COVER
- No Sweat Exercise: Aquatics
Water gives people with neuromuscular diseases freedom of movement
they don't have on land — and being in it feels good.
In a pool in Wausau, Wis., Katie Napiwocki pushes a water-filled
balloon to increase her circulation and relax her muscles, with
the help of occupational therapist Susy Boge.
