Part of my PT was to get in the pool at the hospital with the
therapist. It was when I was first able to put one foot in front
of the other. It really helped me a lot. Then the OT met my
husband and I at a heated pool near the hospital and showed me
exercises to do. Unfortunately I have not done water therapy
except those few times. I am thinking I would like to try it again
now 5 1/2 yrs later. But I want to try it in the warmer times like
now since it feels too cold to go outside to a car after being in a
pool and the temps are cold here in winter.

According to Dr. Kerr swimming or even just walking in the pool is
the best exercise we can do. It has the least impact on our
body....at the Rec Ctr at the hospital in my neighborhood they even
have underwater treadmills. For me and probably most of you the
water temp. is very important...but most pools are heated to over
80 degrees. It takes my body a couple of minutes to adjust but
after that the temp does not botther me...finally because I do laps
in the pool for 45 minutes I purchased a swimmers MP3 player...now
I listen to my "doo wop" music and the time flies.

All of my Physical Therapists put swimming at the top of the charts
for excellent rehab!! I am 62 and still continuing with Physical
Therapy. As soon as the new year comes around and Medicare gives me
my 15 PT workouts for the year I go to a therapist.
But again, I think it's swimming, walking, biking....... The hard
part is getting into the water! ARGH!!! But once in I love it.
If you wear flipppers it's easier, they help keep my legs up. When
done with laps I will take a walk around the pool also.. I go from
the deep end to the shallow... usually not too good in the shallow
end. But any water exercise is really good for you. At least
that's what I have been told.

Most of the strength returned in my legs. I just have some
residual weakness on my right side. I walk around the house and
the yard fine without any assistive devices, only use cane when I
go out because I do fall frequently, and use electric carts in
stores when I will be shopping for more than a few items because of
fatigue. We have steps going into the pool with handrails so I
don't have any problems getting in and out of the water. I don't
do alot of actual swimming anymore because it hurts my legs, just
float or walk around, I will be 47 in a couple of months.

How strong are your legs that you can get into a pool? How does
it feel? Is it easier to move around in water? I used to do
water aerobics, in fact, that was when I first noticed something
strange with my legs. All of a sudden one week I would come home
from aerobics and my legs would feel really tired. I just thought
that I was working harder in the water. Wrong. By the end of
the week my legs gave out and that was that! I really miss
walking in the water. How old are you?
