Spinal Treatment, 2nd round
Feb. 17th, 2006 12:39 pmGot to play 20 questions with PT. He was very hopeful when he heard I had 2 hrs of improved mobility and lessened pain after the first treatment. So, went through that treatment again, and was given more exercises to do besides the ones I was first sent home to do.
He was most impressed at how I was able to isolate certain muscle groups upon command. He said most people have no idea what is what.
With the new exercises, I am retraining my body to stand, sit, and move in a different way to correct the curve toward the base of the spine.
Outlook is good. I asked him about wearing my corset, and he said it would be ok if back was really bothering, but would prefer me not to wear it all the time, as the muscles would get used to that instead of getting stronger. At least I do have a fall back to use should it really start bothering me.
