I have written about going to physical therapy. It was a very good experience. For the time being, I will not being going to PT until some other medical procedures are considered, and more information is known, analyzed, and a plan is developed.
The PT experience was excellent: The staff were knowledgeable, friendly, communicative, and worked as a team. I learned some things about my body, and gained some flexibility, strength, and endurance.
I was given a lot of information about self care and a lot of homework (exercises) to do. If I do the regimens as assigned, I am exercising about an hour and 15 or 20 minutes a day. Most of my co-workers and friends who do home PT exercises do 20 or 30 minutes a day. I have to admit, I sometimes skip a day, especially if I have another activity that day, and my time is limited. But I do participate in PT regularly, and plan to continue to do so although I will not be going to the PT clinic for a while.
When I do PT, I sometimes have the television on. But just as often, I play Gregorian Chants. This has the effect of turning my PT regimen into a very soothing, relaxing routine. Which I so appreciate.
PT has been good.
