Maps and Directions

Exercising in the water may be the perfect answer to your fitness needs or goals. With pain-free, low impact movements, exercise in water can help improve your overall health and speed recovery from a recent injury or illness. Water exercise can often help you heal after undergoing surgery.

Water wellness is also a great option if you want to:
  • Increase your metabolism
  • Build muscle tone and strength
  • Improve balance, coordination and range of motion
  • Relieve tension
The UAMS Water Wellness Program, located in the Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, offers a variety of aquatic exercise classes for adults 18 years and older. Free, convenient parking is available at the front door.

The facility includes a whirlpool room next to the pool, a ramp for handicap accessibility and a unique walking track in waist-deep water with handrails.

You may participate in organized classes, design your own fitness program or practice exercises provided by a physical or occupational therapist. You can target specific body areas to exercise or combine several movements for a complete head-to-toe activity.
