Guest guest Posted March 23, 2002 Report Share Posted March 23, 2002 Hi Juli, In ordinary PT for years I was pushed way to hard. So, one day I flat out quit. I went back to swimming and riding - at my own pace. The PT I had was good, but they were thinking to 'restore' me to normal - NOT! Plus it was really boring stuff! A while back I had more PT for a back injury in a pool - this was great, learned new stuff, exercises in the pool, kind and gentle; does your PT have water exercise? There are other members here who do that too. My experience with exercise is self-taught by trial and error. Walking, biking, etc. IF I feel pain I STOP for 2-3 days, period. Then resume slowly. Since we are all different with different types of CMT and all, the exercise issue of how much depends on us, at least that is my experience. Sounds like PT is maybe pushing you too much. You didn't say how often you go or how long the sessions are. Perhaps inquire about water exercise; ALSO check out your exercise issues/requirements/etc with your Dr. You and the Dr. should be calling the shots, NOT the PT. Also, get copies of your PT progress reports; if you can find another PT, this will be handy to have. I am not aware of any websites you need, but will do my best to see if I can find one and also maybe Paolo can explain more. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
