Oh, I feel kind of dumb now. Years ago when I was having a lot of knee pain, a physical therapist took me to the YMCA and put one of these on me. She took me into the deep water and taught me exercises to make my knee stronger. Until then, I had no idea that I could join the YMCA. I joined and have done the swimnastics for about seven years. When the class is over, I go into the deep water and do those exercises that she taught me. I just don't use the belt anymore. That is an hour and a half three days a week that I feel no pain. As soon as I go up the ladder to get out of the water, the pain returns. Joan

It is really great for exercising, you need a pool deeper then 5 feet on one end, and you wear a wide rubber belt around your waste. Don't know what they are called, but every pool who has aquaaerobic classes has them, or a sportshop.Try also a YMCA.You don't feel pain because you don't put weight an your feet and compress the spine.
