Yup, my initial physiotherapy was done in a hot pool. It's really good because it's non weight bearing etc

I learned how to swim when I was about 5 so it's always come naturally to me, I just float a bit better now cause I've got more fat on me :pfft:

Yup it's one of these

and it just vibrates at the rate you set it at, and apparenlty you muscle contracts at that rate which counts as a repetition.

I'd like to give it a go for a few weeks if it wasn't so godamn expensive.
