Aqua therapy is a miracle. An amazing gift to people with chronic pain such as myself. I received a prescription from my doctor for a 6-week, 3X a week therapy. I was very depressed when I started. I could not even walk to one end of the pool. After 6 weeks of an amazing progress, I had the option of joining the 'club' which was very inexpensive. I kept going once a week for 3 years! Then I moved to another state. I miss my saline/saltwater pool very much. I go to a pool and do my exercises, but a salt/saline pool is the best. I could skip in the pool like a kid again! (I do not know how to swim.) It is hard for me to describe all the benefits: no longer depressed, more mobile, more energy, weight loss . . . I made friends at the pool. I hated it at first and felt discouraged but ending up loving it.
