I am fortunate to have an aquatic center about 25 miles away that has several pools ranging in temp, including a warm water therapy pool. I took their classss for a few months in the warm pool but I found because it was only 4 ft deep... The impact on my foot was making me unable to do many of the exercises. I tried the deep water class which was amazing!!! You wear a floaty belt and the whole class is in the 9ft deep area, so no impact on my foot.. The down side was this class took place in the "normal" pool and some days the water was just too cold and I had to skip that days class. I'd spend the time using a noodle like a horsey ride and float around in the warm pool.

The center is closed for repairs for 6 weeks atm and it is killing me=( I need that place more then they know. It is so helpful for my cold RSD. It doesn't take the pain away but it helps tremendously. It's 9$ per class also and my WC won't cover it... So it does get a bit pricey if I go a few times a week. I would go everyday if I could afford it. It is the one place I get some time to relax my foot muscles and get some relief. It usually lasts about 3 hrs after being in the pool 1-2 hrs but those 5 hrs are the best hours of my week/day.

Most days, my pain level is at critical mass and feel like I can't take it but the warm water pool givese just enough break that I get a glimpse of hope. And the actual exercise class has helped a lot with mobility.

I can't wait for it to re open.
