Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. Yeah, she can go to the pool and swim if she likes but a different set of exercises needs to be done for osteoarthritis (low impact aerobic and strengthening exercises). Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. You can also discuss your case and treatment plans with me in a greater detail in a private consultation.
