Do they think that that action will help strengthen your feet? It will not IMHO cause CMT progresses regardless. We lose the ability no matter what.
And no deep message is not for me at all. Some people, even CMTers,
like it. Not for me. No thanks.  |
Well, we are trying. I do not expect the feet/ ankles to improve. I can barely move my ankles at all. I lost most of the range of motion in my left arm last spring. We got about a third of that back and some strength, but most of it is gone for good. My legs have gotten so weak this winter, the pain when I stand is a lot worse. I thought I would try and see what happens. My doctor seems to feel like physical therapy is always a good idea and I find that I am taken more seriously if I try it. The therapist is very good about quitting when we stop seeing progress.
