Water exercise is a godsend to anyone with mobility issues or pain. Here's a good article about the benefits: https://www.paintreatmentdirectory.com/posts/swimming-and-aqua-therapy-for-back-pain-benefits-and-best-practices

My husband had 6 surgeries last year on his right hip for infection. The last one to remove all artificial parts (Girdlestone procedure). He is now 10 months post-Girdlestone. He uses crutches or walker to get around. He just finished 2 months of aqua-therapy (3 times a week for one hour) It was very helpful. It is still painful and he cannot bear his full weight on that leg. He could not say enough good things about the pool/aqua therapy.
