Aqua Therapy is: great! Wonderful that you are going three times a week. Your PT or the professionals at the gym can tell you more about how people respond to what amount of days but please keep going and know that three days a weeks can be very helpful. Peace and good health.

Yes: 50 yo female w. fibromyalgia doing aquatherapy activities 3x per week. This is great & perfect exercise to increase muscle tone. 3x is adequate & x's should be gauged to avoid exhaustion/pain. With gradually improved strength advance to gentle land-based yoga or tai chi. Walking is another beneficial exercise. For now buoyancy of water is needed to negate gravity, enemy of those with fibromyalgia.
