you can strengthen muscles while standing upright in a pool, body submerged, leveraging the buoyancy of the water to lessen the strain on your spine. i'm not an instructor, but you could inquire. my DH's professor in college used to teach aquatics - DH was a PE major.

I'm sharing some links here in case anyone following this thread is interested. Water Exercise: Clock for neck pain How to Do Neck Aquatic Exercises for Arthritis Swimming exercises for relief of shoulder and neck pains Treatment and Aquatic Therapy of Cervical Spondylosis 10 exercises for relief of shoulder and neck pains Preventing Neck Injuries By Using Correct Swimming Technique - my problem is that the only stroke that I know how to do is breaststroke and I do so love it. That may have worsened my condition. Who knows? I hadn't gone swimming in years, but then I started going again almost daily for about a month right before I was diagnosed.

Thank you.
I searched many past threads here and I'm quite sure that I heard about the Janice Novak DVD from Jeannine also. Everyone here has been so helpful. Although this is not something that will ever go away, at least I hope that I can manage the symptoms. Quote:
I have been so looking forward to hopefully receiving all my goodies tomorrow night. Now I'm not sure if and when I will. I ordered them to my relatives in Florida. Now with Dorian approaching them, I'm not sure if they'll be coming after all. Selfish of me to be thinking of my order, I know. I just hope that I get them eventually. They're not the type to mail them to me later or anything I like that. Well, I'll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings. I wish that Dorian and all future hurricanes would just disappear. I hate them. We had a major one here back in 2004. Those things terrify me.

I ordered the book so I have a reference to use when I don’t have access to my DVD player. |

It's been over two months since I started this thread. I traveled to another island nearby to see some specialists. Yes, I have cervical spondylosis. We already knew that. Then they did a nerve conduction test and it turns out that I have bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. What a relief to finally know for sure! We are so grateful. So from here on out, my focus will be on relieving the CTS. Thank you all so much for the helpful suggestions.
