I felt these were pretty good sessions.
Basically they did a brief assessment every time and made adjustments as needed, didn't push hand bike or stretchy bands until my pain & sx were low.
fist appt was also the evaluation appt. where they do an in depth questionnaire about sx, pain levels, what helps for you & what makes it worse.
The the hands on evaluation to locate the trouble spots & rule in/out any spine issues.
heat pack 15 min
ultrasound 10-15 min
massage 10-15 min
assess for sx/pain
then if acceptable move on to some basic stretches - adjust as needed to tolerance
send a home plan to follow until next appt.
nest appt session
assessment of sx & pain levels
same as above if acceptable
If any increases in pain/sx then back track /ease off on stretches or any exercises that might have caused increased pain.
repeat all until pain & sx are down to a 2-3
they also used some biofeedback machine to find out what muscles are relaxing & contracting properly or not- some of mine were not relaxing completely - showed a baseline tension all the time.
so they showed me specific things to work on for that
and made sure i was doing them properly before sending me home to do on my own.
Had me try a fluido machine one time - just sitting with the arms extended into that dumb machine was not a good thing.. but that was when we were still focused on the RSI arms injury.
Didn't do anything good for me at all and made my neck & shoulders more sore.
