I know I can go on YouTube and look up what I'm asking but there's way too many to go thru.

I just need someone to guide me a little bit. I tried water physical therapy but I don't know if it was the therapists or what but they had me doing waaaay too much and seemed to have too many patients at one time.

There actually are several muscle strengthening exercises that can be done laying in bed. I went for physical therapy a few years ago and he worked with me on them.

If that's not an option let me know and I will share what I know.

And I will pick your brain soon, Elephantcat!

I tried water physical therapy.
Some things i liked about it , but overall I had to stop.

I'm pretty sure my therapists must've confused my file with someone else's , ha!
