lol! It wasn't torture! They only put me on that machine every 4-6 weeks. It was good to get an objective assessment of my progress as it went along. Early on I wasn't feeling the results, but the scores were steadily climbing. It was good to have that reassurance on tough days.

That PT experience was overall wonderful and REALLY REALLY helped me.

As for scoring too low initially, I think that is better than scoring too high. The last thing you want is for the PT to send you along before you've been helped!
