Aquatic Therapy

Today I had my first session of aquatic therapy and I wanted to share my experience because I highly recommend it! 
The minute I got into the pool the pain from my lower back, pelvis, and pubic region almost completely ceased. We did a few core/resistance exercises and some relaxing hanging exercises using a noodle to help stretch out my spine. I haven't been this pain-free in weeks. I told my doctor about the pain I was having, he referred me to a physical therapist, and my physical therapist started me on aquatic therapy after I expressed interest in pool exercises because of my competitive swimming background. My school has free access to the pool as well, so I plan to spend some time in there too. Seriously, ask your Dr or PT about it if you want to give it a try too-I think you all will be pleased.
Unless you have a fear of water or something.. then stay on land. 
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. Yay for Friday!

    So glad you found relief!! I love being in the water, well in general, but particularly during this pregnancy.

    I've been in PT for a couple weeks now and didn't know that was an option (even tho I saw a mini pool in the next room). I'm going to ask my Therapist person about getting in there!! Thanks for the tip!

    Last pregnancy I went to a prenatal water aerobics class at my gym 2 times a week, it was great. None of the gyms around here offer them :( Glad you found some relief!

    Soooo jealous right now!!! I wish my PT had access to a pool (or I had time to go on my own). That sounds heavenly!
