Swimming pool joy
Posted , 3 users are following.
Just want to recommend doing exercises in a swimming pool. It's amazing to be able to do them and so much easier than on land! Very encouraging and a bit of a thrill! My physio recommended using ankle floats to increase resistance and that works the leg very well. Also I understand that working the muscles in water works them in a particularly all over type of way, which cannot be achieved out of water due to gravity! I started doing about forty minutes of exercises and 20 mins of the crawl a few weeks back and it really is the highlight of my week. Completely exhausted for the rest of the day but so worth it.

I found it quite hard to locate some cheap ankle floats. In the end i found they sell them at sports direct, though for some odd reason they are described as "mens"! If you are in uk this might be useful!

The knee feels great...eleven weeks old. What doesn't feel good is the rest of my body. Still short of breath. Going to go to my doctor again. I think I may have a bit of a chest infection.

Yep I'm on antibiotics for a chest infection!
But then again I'm at 7 months! Just one of those things!
Get well soon.
