I cannot comment on PT.
However, I can share my personal experience had been full of an attempt at exercise daily, no matter my condition. I did POOL PT, and continued long after…..just get in the pool and walk, add ankle weights and foam dumbbells, anything you do on land, do it in pool.
I have a trainer for 20+yrs. She is a “functional movement specialist”. At abt my one yr point she added to her “skills” the TVT….targeted vibration therapy.
(I’m 79yo female)
Bottom line, yes get all the help you can.
And ask all the questions you can.

@tweetypie13 I too am a 79yo female who was diagnosed with PMR in July after 5 mos of pt.
I’m tapering…down to 3 next month. I continue to play tennis 3x week and walk on days off.
So far so good. I realize everyone is different but I’m of the move it or lose it mindset.
