"The pool was a godsend. The water supports your body to take the strain off your knee and is great to help train your balance. My swelling seemed to improve after every session as well and the current in the pool provided resistance to help strengthen my leg muscles as much as possible before surgery. I found that I started to walk without much of a limp on land after walking in the pool.
AquaPhysio has been great in getting me prepared for my surgery and I will be back as soon as I can afterwards too!"
