Did my first session of Pool Therapy (Balnéotherapie) this afternoon. I bloody loved it the previous times, mostly for the shoulder/arm treatent but also for the leg cos in water it's possible to lift/bend/move the limb almost normally
After four weeks of no weight bearing and struggling to bend/extend properly (the physios are really happy with the leg movement, but it's not easy or particularly comfortable to do)
Sooo - 30 mins of doing similar exercises in the pool that I do lying down in the physio room; only in the pool I'm standing and can lift/bend/extend sooooo -much easier!
Aaand did some arm exercises to help the arm. Then the physio suggested I use a couple of "chips" (long polystyrene tubes that we use to float) and just lie back in the water (pretty warm, so relaxing!). First time I've been able to just relax for ages!! (I so need a home with a bath, at least that is partway there!!).
Now totally knackered but smiling a lot!!!
