I've been doing an aquatics program once a week for over a year. I always take my rolling walker to the program. After an hour of exercise in the water, my legs are so wobbly, I must rest, and have extra support to make it to the car. I find it takes my legs about 1-2 hours to recover. The rest of the week I feel so much better because I've used all of those muscles and joints that usually just hang out in a chair.

I really love the aquatics program. I've noticed a big decrease in spasticity and the ability to use my very tight ankles and feet since I started this program. Having said all of that I'm off to the pool for my weekly fun. Betty
