Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 , water therapy is great...it keeps you moving and the water makes you lighter. I have trouble with the chemicals in the pool. I used to love to travel and use a hottub to relax in till I started to react to the chemicals...wish I could have one at home. I try ti do alittle more each day and that really helps me along with Light Box Therapy.
