Physical Therapy

Thanks to everyone who has joined my contest. There are few people who haven’t verified their email. If you do not, then you will not be added to the contest. :) So please check and make sure you have!

I started physical therapy yesterday. I was pretty nervous because I had no idea what to expect. The facility was within Kaiser (which I’m a member of) and it was pretty nice compared to the other Kaiser buildings. My physical therapist was really nice; she reminded me of my aunt in a way. She asked me a few questions and what I wanted to get out of doing physical therapy. Then she had me walk up the hallway, stand in different angles, balance on one foot, etc.

Then she told me to lay down and she was massaging both my legs and ankles to see if I felt any tenderness. Then she said that she wanted to do cold laser light therapy on my right leg all the way down to my heel. It’s called “cold” laser light but it actually made me feel warm. I noticed a bit of difference, but I’m going to go back every week to get it done and it will help in the long run. She also gave me some exercises to do at home.

I’m glad I went. I feel better about it now. :)

OH! And go join Swish MB!

Good luck with your recovery. I’m curious to hear more about your future treatments with the “cold” laser. Did she explain how it helps?

Good luck with recovery.

A massage sounds really good right now!

I hope that physical therapy keeps going well for you and then we can join a dance studio and dance together. I think that would be a ton of fun :)

just a few more sessions and i’m sure you’d be super oookay! :) i think it’s cool. getting an ordinary massage is more appropriate for me, though. haha!

I’ve never had physical therapy before and it seems like a great feeling. I don’t have the time for it though sadly :( Good to know you feel better now!

Physical therapy eh? I know some physical therapists, nice people :) I work in a shoe store so I see a lot of therapists’ patients that recommend them to come in and get good shoes! :D

Physical therapy is so scary at first but it works wornders. I wish I started it after my last ankle injury. It still hurts to this day. Good luck with everything and I’ll go check out your contest. Lovely site :)
