Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 ~ I'm sorry P.T. is taking it's toll on you. It's good on one hand and then the other it's a real pain. When I went to P.T. after I was diagnosed my doctor wanted me to do aqua therapy. I wasn't too thrilled with it. The pool was nice and warm. It was a 5' pool, but I am only 4'11 " . I had to stand on my tip-toes to do anything. My favorite part of the P.T. was the ultrasound, moist therapy and the deep tissue work. I really did not like some of the exercises they physical therapist gave me on some of those machines. They were brutal. Just know that I'm thinking about you! ~ --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2002 Report Share Posted July 17, 2002 Dear , Thank you for the kind words and support! I missed Tuesday's PT, and I have one tomorrow which I am dreading! But you gave me an idea: even though this PT is for my neck fusions, I wonder if we couldn't add water therapy. My therapist is awesome; she worries about my condition all the time. Perhaps she can get authorization from my Neurologist. I had to giggle...sorry...my Grandmother was 4'11 " too! We loved knowing we out-grew her by 11 or 12 yrs old! ~~ " Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless. " - Mother > > ~ > I'm sorry P.T. is taking it's toll on you.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2002 Report Share Posted July 18, 2002 Dear , I want to thank you for your replys, as I received some good feedback that I used today at PT. After examining me, I shared with my therapist about the different approaches you mentioned. So today she used ultrasound, heat, and electrical therapies (all at once...lovely!), and my PT was much more gentler and productive. Thanks, P.S. This just goes to show us all how valuable and supportive this group is. -- In @y..., Sweet Katlin wrote: > > ~ > My therapist did giggle at me also. I liked the aqua therapy, but getting out of the 94 degree pool made my back spazzzzz...That was the only problem I had with it...well, besides the water depth. You should ask your doctor about the aqua therapy. It does help range of motion which is why I started the therapy to begin with. My neck muscles were so tight that I couldn't even look over my shoulders. Well, I will think about you as you go back to therapy. Take care! > ~ > P.S. I stopped growing in the 8th grade, BUT I am taller than mom....heheeh...she's 4'10 " . > > > > --------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2002 Report Share Posted July 23, 2002 Dear , Thanks for your continuing good thoughts! I'm not flaring now from the treatment, and as such, we're really making some headway in my neck treatments! ~~ ~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
