I'm another who gains relief from acupuncture along with physiotherapy. I also believe in keeping as fit "as possible".

I fully realise that maintaining fitness is an individual ability, but it helps to know your own body. Learn what it is that you can and can't do....recognise your limits.

I've felt so much better by keeping at aquatherapy and have been attending an aqua class (gentle for oldies) for a few years now. Anything less than regular twice weekly is not worth the effort....results come from persistance. The water is protection for joints, movements in water are fluid with less jarring. I also do a half hour walk every day....my dog makes sure of this.
