    I was diagnosed with fibro over 10 years ago. I know in the summer when I can be in the water it helps a lot when I am in the water but the pain comes back as soon as I get out, infact getting out is a real chore. I don’t have a tub

    Yes, hydrotherapy is very helpful..just be very careful that the hot tub is cleaned and checked regularly. You can get hair follicle infection and while not painful it is disgusting!
