Most of the aquatic exercises given to me by the physiotherapist work my hips, thighs, and knees. One of the at-home ones involves sitting upright with the back unsupported. I then have to alternately lift each thigh without moving my torso. A week ago, that was painful in the left thigh because the muscles weren't able to handle the job. It would appear the three 45-minute aqua-therapy sessions have helped in that area, because there's much less thigh pain when doing the seated thigh lifts.
I've worked out I can handle hydrotherapy sessions three days per week: Tuesday, Friday & Sunday. For the first two days, I aim to beat the rush & get there by 6 am, but I get to sleep in on Sundays as they're not open until 8 am.
@matigo Are you sure you haven't moved to Melbourne? Sounds like our current weather pattern.
@jextxadore I'd have thought it more productive to use a violin for fiddling…

@variablepulserate 17-er in either a PowerBook or a MacBook Pro is ¼ t0 ⅓ the cost of a new 16.

On Monday I’ll take out a 6-month aquatic membership at the local spirts centre. My physiotherapist has given me a range of exercises to do over a 40 minute period although he suggested I restrict it to 30 at the first visit. Apparently when I start feeling the effects of gravity there’s going to be some pain involved.
As long as I make 2 or more visits weekly, it’s going to be cheaper to do so as a member than as a Casual visitor.
