I've done two sessions of PT in the pool. The first time I had a therapist who was like "this is real, this is not in your head" and very understanding of this. I felt good after. Yesterday I had a different therapist who I didn't like, she wasn't paying attention to me. I'm a great swimmer and keep balance well in the pool, but she made me over do it. I'm really sore today.

First therapist did talk to me about desensitization. Start easy, wear my shoes instead of flip flops, wear socks with elastic, etc.

It'll be good to read all of the responses.
