On Wednesday morning, April 4, 2018, Jim Conners makes his way up the ramp early in the morning to the Muller Aquatic Center, Santa Barbara, Calif. Connors regularly uses the 91 degree aquatic rehabilitation therapy pool to relieve the chronic pain in his lower back and legs. Connors says, “When I’m in the pool, this is just about the only time when I am able to move with relatively little pain.” (©Stan Roden)
