Feb. 5th, 2013 09:32 amAlmost three years ago I hurt my shoulder. Since I had no health insurance, I couldn't do much about it at the time. I went to a few physical therapy sessions, just to learn the exercises I needed to do to regain my range of motion, which I did religiously for several months until I could once again move my arm in all the ways my arm was supposed to move. That didn't mean my shoulder felt better, though. It took nearly two years before it really felt good most of the time. And since then, I've just got used to having weak and wimpy little Tyrannosaur arms.
But then, I finally got health insurance in December, and in January I started going back to physical therapy. Twice a week for the better part of a month, and I think I'm starting to make some progress. I still have weak and wimpy little Tyrannosaur arms, but I have a fairly comprehensive set of exercises to work with now. Starting next week I get to cut back to once a week which is great because they have very limited hours (nearly all of which coincide with the times that I would normally be going to the gym for running). And I've seen distinct improvement already in what I can do. Yay for PT!
