Not to mention an overall feeling of accomplishing something , keep the blood pumping and all that.

So if you’re not currently in PT, I would give the doctor a call and ask, sometimes doctors are prone to why push yourself when you’re on a degenerative path, live more comfortably, enjoy the posh life.... sometimes we need to let them know that not all of us enjoy being couch 🥔

Thanks for replying. Yes, I have gone to PT several times in the last 18 yrs when I was dx. Going to start again soon at a place that also offers functional and naturopathic Drs. Take care.
