Hydrotherapy

My physio sessions include hydrotherapy. This is me being immersed into hot water that reaches to the chest, to do some exercises and improve flexibility as well as build muscle strength. This was quite interesting and it started with simply walking up and down the length of the pool twice. Other exercises included;

• going on tip toes then going down slowly
• moving from toes to heels and swinging
• balancing on one leg
• using the wobble boards to move up and down
• using the wobble board to balance on one leg and move arms up and down
• walk across the pool
• walk on tip toes across the pool
• on heels
• on inner foot area
• on outer foot area
• stretching it by pushing against a wall

These same exercises were to be done at home in a bit of a slower motion. As well as crunching a tissue paper with my toes.

On the second session which was yesterday there were some more exercises such as:

• hopping on the bad leg across the pool
• stepping up and lifting my body on the first step of the pool

I was also told that I can cycle, row, and do exercises at the gym...so it's searching for a gym with these facilities that is close and get a months membership.
