I like my PT

ymjoostenIt was an interesting first visit. They used electric current to stimulate blood flow in my shoulder. At first it felt like pins and needles and then it felt like a massage. The physical therapist then manipulated my shoulder and massaged it. It's so strange how the pain refers down to my elbow. I suspected that it was not really tendinitis because it wasn't improving with inactivity and Advil. I was really sore afterward, but I think it will help in the long run. He talked me into the benefit of the shot. He also nagged me enough to get me to ice my shoulder. Next time, more exercises, but for now, he gave me one stretch to do three times a day for 15 counts. I'll do that tonight while we watch TV. I think I finally convinced Rick to watch Bridgerton. We're into the Queen's Gambit and I've been putting up with Outlander. I just can't anymore with Outlander. I gave up on Game of Thrones because of the violence. I just don't have the strength to watch people getting raped and tortured right now.
I really liked the PT's office. His wife works with him and she's so nice. They seem to work so well together. He's able to see several people at once, moving from patient to patient in private rooms and out in the common room because he coordinates with her. I never thought I could put up working with my spouse and then going home too, but this seems to work well for them. Two thumbs up!
