Four Physiotherapy Sessions Later

Greetings,

In my last post I mentioned that I was beginning to see a physiotherapist about doing something about the damage done to my chest. This is really the first development toward progression that I can talk about. The medication worked on the symptoms of the problem it is true, but the physiotherapy seems to be making some real progress.

I have been for four sessions with the physiotherapist. I have been given movement exercises to do and have been having various techniques applied to various parts of my body. I can say for sure that there has indeed been progress. I have actually been feeling an increase in movement in the area. Of course the weather of late being cold has not helped things particularly much, but I feel that I would be feeling a lot worse than if I had not been going.

One of the big things that we have been working on his my posture. I am now standing up more straight than I used to be and it is helping a great deal. I have noticed improvements in other areas thanks to this actually. I can now sit and work at my computer a little longer, and sitting for extended periods of time is causing less problems than it used to. These are small improvements, but still significant.

The other major area that the physiotherapist and I have been working on is getting some muscle tone into my right shoulder in order to place my shoulder blade back up against my chest wall where it should be. It actually stands out a bit and the exercises that I have been given are designed to assist with this. This is in turn working on muscles in the front of my chest around the area and improving things in that particular area.

I am hoping that with continued maintenance and stretching and the exercises I may eventually be able to finally solve an issue and improve my current condition, well at least back to how I used to be. I can tell you for free that there are no miracle cures, but if you are willing to put in the work which is required in order to improve yourself, the benefits from this are great. I am even considering some more physio after the chest has improved in order to focus more on a fitness increasing regime to improve things overall.

Cheers,

Henry.
