I have done physical therapy and a program where pt was part of at cleveland clinic. I will say the one not at cc the pt I let touch my legs and he stretched and messaged it. I will never do that again. I was in the worst pain even weeks later. Then I read that in rsd you should not let someone manipulate your problem area. I won't even let the doc touch them now. In cc I did some and had mixed feelings. In the pool my issue was the temp and that they also had men swimmers who made huge waves that felt like a gun shot to the leg. I wouls be open to the pool again but in a warmer and calmer pool. The best for me has been walking now outside and trying to build time.
