Hi Laura,
I would suggest that you specifically ask your doctor and therapist WHY you should not do any exercises at all, as usually it is very important that you DO find some exercises you can do and do them regularly to help fight the loss of mobility and decreased range of motion that AS always causes. There must be a specific reason they do not want you to do any exercises at this time, and you should definitely find out what those reasons are. Many people here--myself included--find that doing those water exercises you mention helps make us feel better and ensures that we achieve maximum mobility, whidh is essential when it comes to fighting AS.
