With the help of a friend, I would walk in the swimming pool for an hour or two. From one end to another end I would walk slowly holding the edge of the pool.
At first, the walk seem very slow and hard as I have to push my legs against the water. Sometimes I would fall in the water and my friend, Raizan would supervise my aqua theraphy sessions as he walks by my side so that I won't fall and drown.
Raizan would do his swimming regime as I walk against the water and he would wait for me at the other end and gives moral support as I struggle trying to get to the other end.
The challenging part is when I want to get out of the pool. I can not clim the ladder. I can not push myself out of the pool. Thus Raizan had to carry me out of the pool, put me on the pavement by the pool. He came out from the pool and carry me to the bench. That's is our routine when coming out of the pool.
The aqua theraphy helps to strengthen my muscles as the viscocity of the water provides an excellent source of resistance which allows muscle strengthening without the need of weight.
Raizan and I have been friends since early this year and he always been supportive and help me with the aqua theraphy and help me to move around since I have limited mobility and cannot drive anymore.
