I agree whole heartily about massage therapy and hydrotherapy. I have been doing water aerobics for half my life and see great effects and since I had my hamstring surgery two summers ago and have battled hip tendonitis I have been getting bi-weekly (or at least monthly) massages. What a difference! Of course, insurance doesn't cover it, but it is my gift to me and I have a cheaper massage therapist than most (and she's a PT assistant as well) - Can't beat that. Linda
