I usually don't have to find the motivation to go to the pool @outlander so that must show just how tired I am feeing today - I will get there just need to force myself out the door today - I know I will be ok when I get there

Yep but it's an ongoing thing I have lived with for a while. Until I had surgery at the start of the year it wasn't something that could really be worked on though, but now it can. I saw the Chiro last week and in his tests we found that apparently I fall over if my eyes are closed as I lose my body in space. The idea of that made me kind of giggle. Maybe I'm not just totally clumsy 😆
Has the hydrotherapy helped do you think?

Re: New Post: Am Not Coping
I think hydrotherapy has helped so far @CheerBear _ I can stand for a bit longer than I used to - sitting is still an issue at times but it depends on what I am sitting on and for how long. I can definitely feel after each session the muscles I have been working on to strengthen - some sessions I feel it more than others. Just being able to get the exercise is beneficial though - couldn't do anything before the pool - I struggled to walk more than a very short distance without it hurting snd my legs feeling like jelly.

It is definitely a long term therapy for my back but I am pleased to find something I like that also helps @CheerBear Last week I did 20 minutes of walking in the water (I had an energetic day lol) before I did my exercises and even though I was buggered afterwards it was good to know I could do that. Today I will only do my exercises and then flost around for a little while relaxing ...self-care for the day
