PT sessions in my Thermapool

The last 4 weeks I've been doing physical therapy again.  Every year in the winter I like to get Physical Therapy and or Occupational Therapy to keep me in tune during the cold months and to help me isolate the muscle groups needed to sustain my strength.  It's motivating to feel my body get a bit stronger even if it's a slight difference.  Liz helps stabilize my hips while I perform the exercises.
Pain management for me is going in the pool at 93 degrees and just moving, stretching walking and of coarse listening to my favorite tunes....

It’s been a little over a year since my last post on here!!  Time sure does go by fast!!  I’m happy to report my ThermaPool is still up and running great!!  My aqua therapy sessions usually last about 2 hrs or a little less, 5 days a week on average!!  It’s been 3 years now that I’ve had my thermapool and it’s changed my life and health in so many positive ways!! It’s also helped other people in my life get healthy and strong! Life with an indoor pool still feels so surreal, especially on my bad days when I need it the most, I get in and feel instant relief physically and mentally!!  Just being on my feet and out of that chair is a relief and a blessing!!  I realize I’m not getting better, in fact I’m getting worse because I’m fighting a progressive disease but I can feel this pool therapy is preserving my body as much as possible...helping me fight this illness as best as I can!!  I’m so thankful everyday for this sponsorship! In the past, I’ve poste...

Exhaust fan and dehumidifier in...I'm all set

Having an indoor pool requires a few things to keep your house safe from moisture and mold.  One, Paint all walls with High gloss paint.  This keeps your walls extra safe from moisture because of the gloss.  Two,  Get a dehumidifier for your pool room!!  Three, Get a high speed exhaust fan built or placed in a nearby window to help the moisture go outside!  This exhaust fan helped my pool room tremendously but doing all three is the safest way to keep your house safe and worry free!  Also, keep the pool cover on when not in use.  It will keep the heat and moisture in the pool and save you money in the long run!  Here are some pics of the exhaust fan...

And 10 Years already since I suddenly lost my Dad! Losing my physical strength so quickly and my dad all at once was so hard on me...The hardest I can remember, but it lead me to today...a promising and positive 2019 to look forward to!!  My Dad was my hero and my best friend and I miss him everyday but carry his spirit in my heart with a smile! I know he would be the happiest father knowing all I accomplished for CMT awareness, Inclusion for us with disabilities, my Thermapool sponsorship and so much more....I have some big projects up my sleeve for 2019...😎  My favorite part of being in my warm water therapy pool is walking and dancing on my own to my favorite oldies songs..I get to utilize my entire body again and it Never gets old. This December I kicked some serious butt in my Thermapool.  Averaging 6 days a week,1 1/2 hours in 93 degree water doing all kinds of workouts and body movements to keep me as strong as possible especially during these cold days which t...
