Has aquatherapy helped you with chronic pain?

Rlly mayhem, I have severe neuropathy form what is presumed to be an autoimmune reaction. It originally came with shooting pain in my legs and feet. Aquatherapy with a physical therapist in the warm water pool at the local university where she teaches has been a godsend for my pain, mobility, balance, and a sense of freedom in that space. I can also swim unaided. The progress has been monitored over a year, by my PT.
I still need the lift to get into the pool most easily, but when it was broken for a time, I kept coming, and got into the pool by going down the steps on my bum! I recommend it with a physical therapist who works frequently with patient in a pool.

I have neuropathy in my legs and feet also... my balance is off especially when I go into large stores, parking lots, etc. I'm glad you've found relief. My 1st aquatherapy appointment is Tuesday. I hope, like you, I find some relief from all this pain. I appreciate your response.
