Also a key is water temp because that was what went wrong in my pool therapy because the temp was too cool which sent a flare up. I am not sure about PT in the whole as I am not at that point but I do walk on my own daily. It is a catch 22 and I know one has to be in more pain sometimes to feel the long term benefit but there is some pain that is just too much. Keep trying to find what works
I'm with you there.. without some cushioning under my feet it feels like I am walking on bone and it triggers flares within minutes. And the more cushioning the better... it was only recently when I got super cushy sneaks that I was able to walk anywhere at all. I just wish the watershoes are cushy. (I have ones from lands end)

I knever thought of water temp... but it never seems very cold...
