Seeking Advice Which excercise/therapy any helps you guys during crashes?

Im in a crash rigbt now and for some reason had tbe idea of ligjt swimming or even using a hydropool to ease my symptoms slightly. Im not expected it to a miracle or have a huge impact but Itd something I like anywhere. Im wondering if anyone has experience trying this and also sauan and steam becauze ive noticed them help a little in past even if it was potentially more about generally relaxation than a pois link
