I am so excited for you - about the PT ordered by doc and that it's close to home - that helps!

I thought (last year) when I was sent to PT that my doc just "wasn't getting it!" when I talked about not being able to walk or the fatigue etc. Especially when PT was ordered for me.

I couldn't even get the bicycle wheel to go around one time - labored endlessly trying to figure out how to make my legs work right. They had to physically move my legs to make the wheel turn.

So pathetic and embarrassing - especially for me - an ex gymnastic competitor. I was so humiliated.

But I persevered and they were so thorough in helping me to understand which muscles were weak-exercises to strengthen them etc

At the end of 12 weeks I was riding that bicycle 5 miles! And, it felt so good. My leg pains decreased and it just felt good to be fairly functional again.

But, its been the DOG who has gotten me back on my feet and I find the flare ups are not as severe-still slow me down and get stumbly again but not as bad as last year.

PT is a blast and I loved the girls who worked with me and then you get the massage chair and the big Awwwww.

Hope your experience is as wonderful.

It can really help - Go For It!!
