Re: physical therapy

I went to PT for rehab. of shoulder following surgery for torn rotator

cuff. It took longer than normal to accomplish the same, but I was

able to make progress. I think the important thing is to be able to

control the reps depending on your energy level. I found that my home

program was better if done in several small bits instead of all at

once. I got it down to a routein that I did certain things after a

potty break, after eating, etc.

Good luck,

I also went to PT, but did not have successful outcome. The exrcises

caused my lactic acid levels to increase. I would try to follow

others advice of small reps rather than doing exercises all at once.

Good luck.
