aqau therapy bust

So I'm taking aqua therapy. I also have a very bad back. What I've noticed is if ther are a lot of people in the pool when I am in it there are a lot of "waves". These wave push my upper body in all directions and it hurts my back I wwear a brace during the day to keep it steady and now I get onto the pool and it's going all over the place. If this keeps up I'll have to give up the aqua therapy

is it possible you can tell the person in charge to allow you to be in there by yourself to prevent that? don't now how that works but when i did it there was a physical therapist leading the exercises and i was also having a problem considering i am a poor swimmer so she made it easier for me by allowing me to do lag behind the others.

I spoke to the therapist. I am going to try and find a back brace that I can take into the water with me. The problem I have is the several people in the pool are all doing different things with different therapists

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
