Hot Tub Hydrotherapy

[Devon5]

morning all,

My Fibro issues are 90% with my legs - muscles and tendons.

I’ve been looking into whether a hot tub which provides hydrotherapy jets etc will help.

Has anyone any experience of this working/ helping with Fibro on the legs?

Many thanks

I know that if I am in a hotel with a jacuzzi - I get some short term relief from going in.

Most of my fibro is in my legs too. I did hydrotherapy and unfortunately it didn't help but hot water in general still helps my legs feel better while I'm in there at least.

Thanks for your replies. Did a hydro test last night for 15-20 mins. Unfortunately it seemed to irritate the leg muscles overnight, so maybe not for me.Nevermind, onwards and upwards!

You might just need to aclimatise to it, fibro bodies don't react well to change. I'd just do tiny bits and build up slowly.

Sadly it was a one off test session. But you are right - Fibro doesn’t like any change!

I swim that helps loosen everything up, ruins my hair though!
