Dear Jo*mar,

thanks a lot for searching.....

No, the trigger point shock wave therapy is different.

You have to look that up since there seem to be different devices available. No, they don't put anything on you. The device is led over your back - or whatever - and it feels as if a jackhammer is running over your body. . It pounds like a pneumatic stapler and sends the shock waves. You feel really relaxed afterwards. You are right, she has increased the cycles per second and maybe that was a bit too much for me.

Now I have to talk to the doctor again and find another - hopefully better - PT who is specialized in rib mobilization.

As to Sharon Butler, I'll restart the program on Saturday and will change the shoulder circling to the shoulder shrugs.
