2cute, The PT at rehab has me in the pool doing leg extensions for as long as I can, on e leg, then the other.
Then hang on to the side and bend the legs up and down, one at a time.
Then with your back to the pool wall, rest your arms on the wall and swing your legs to the side on leg at a time.
Then he tosses a noodle in, and I hang on that and do bicycle like movements in the water. It's low impact and you can do it for awhile with no pain.
The idea is to help your upper muscles support your knees better.
Hope it helps!
Debra
