I have just received a letter from the physio department at the hospital, they have booked me in for 6 sessions of hydrotherapy starting on the 28th August. That should be fun, I don't swim and I don't particularly like water especially if they make put my head under, that would finish me off altogether lol. Anyone else had this and does it help?

I am due to start my first session of 6 from next monday. My surgeon doesn't usually give you physio. but I am in so much pain with my unoperated side I bribed him with a bottle of whiskey and it worked.

all of my hydrotherapy exercises were done upright. Doing your normal exercises in water is more challenging because you have to control those legs and walk against a bit of resistance. Imagine as well having a float strapped to your ankle and then doing your exercises (holding on to a bar) in such a way that you have to control the float up and resistance down.
I found its exhausting but so worthwhile. It might just be the thing to get you to the next level with your recovery.
Good od luck with it,
Laura
