After putting a fair few miles on the bike this last week, I have fallen prey to the dead legs syndrome.... no decent output available this morning.
Anyhow - my job involves delivering Hydrotherapy sessions for people who have undergone hip and knee replacement surgery, and this morning, after an hour with my clients, i spent a further 30 minutes in the pool simply going through some simple mobilisation exercises....
I feel amazing.
The hydrostatic pressure of the water - whilst mobilising and then lengthening major muscle groups - had a really beneficial impact on my fatigued legs, although i do really need to go to sleep now.
Try it! Its great, especially if you do have access to a Hyrdo pool, that is warmer than your usual public pool. I'd be happy to fire peoplpe some good exercises to do for general mobility....
