I would wager on all 3.

When I walked out of my first PT session with Joyce, I could breath more into my left lung which was in interesting sensation. Prior to the session, I didn't even know that my lower left ribs were restricted, although she was able to easily demonstrate that to me during our session.

Re: the break reminder software, it clearly has me getting out of the chair more to improve circulation and posture. I could feel the difference on day 1.

And yes, diazepam is helping too which is why I included it. The first time, my reaction was "hellz yeah, this is what my neck is supposed to feel like--relaxed and natural".

What's a "Benzo problem"? Have you experienced problems with diazepam?

I'm aware that drugs can have tolerance problems which is why I try to skip it 3 days a week.
