Default pt tos journal

i posted this on fb but figure id paste here maybe itll help someone

*i am both hypo and hypermobile

#
i'm going to scrawl pt notes here as an online log, maybe itll be helpful to someone

shoulder strengthening on back, arms raised and extended in front reach forward then move back = snapping scapula on left side aka inflamation

cannot do simple scalenes, head tilt stretch.

pec minor pain on rt side
neck spasms left side


pt calls me hypersensitive so i transfer to get rid of trigger pts

new pt doent mention trigger points, has me lay on side to strengthen rotator cuff. w/o weights, hand very shaky. says burning sensation is from the muscles, i disagree

everyone else has commented that my neck is TOO TIGHT but new pt says that he's jealous of how loose it is, okay. maybe he means the bones or w/o trigger pts. confusing.

last Saturday

things that have really hurt me/done nothing

class iv DEEP laser therapy, aka bs
us massage done med/lightly (cranked up to the max has helped)
lifting weights
resistance bands
nerve glides (i used to do these effectively but now my nerves are so mad i cant even try)
stretching (has helped and hurt, but nerves are so mad cant even try anymore)
last Saturday ·

pt is busting out the RESISTANCE BANDS

luckily im using the lightest one possible and i am not moving my shoulder, holding arm at rt angle and stepping in and out from door attached to band

huge knots on right side are aggravated so i am worried still. also i believe the weird fat armpit feelings i am experiencing on rt side are vascular.

also the horrible stabbing pains ive experienced are not in my pec minor but my serratus anterior which apparently i shouldve gotten tested by an emg, my guess
