Hi parbie, so good to hear from you and good to know you are back in the Bay Area. I am actually seeing a CFMT in Palo Alto about twice a month. Still doing Art's exercises and Peter's core program. I am doing much better, I am 70 to 80 percent better I think.
How are you feeling now? Are you seeing Susan Casto?

Which CFMT is that? I'm looking for someone experienced and live near San Mateo..

Any suggestions on specific muscles for them to work on?

Mine is Lang Ngov in Palo Alto Medical Foundation in Palo Alto. Do you have TOS? She is not a TOS specialist, or so specifically experienced in TOS, but she is good.
I can't give any advice on any specific muscles or anything , it's really upto the therapist and everyone's body is different.

You are lucky Iris!

Yes, I strongly agree that manual therapy is necessary, not just the edgelow protocol. I feel so lucky to have a good physical therapist.

Iris, You are so right, we are so lucky to have such good therapists that are ready to accept other protocol that works for us ( in my and only see our best interests as patients. Without them being as open minded, it would be hard to be recovering as we are.
The road to good health is really not straight. I count my blessings every single day:) as somehow I have landed with good therapists and I am very grateful for that.

Hi Parbie and Stos,Happy New Year! Parbie how are you feeling since the surgery? Do you think the pec minor tenomoty helped you? I think I am going to finally order the edgelow kit. I am still having issues mostly shoulder and hand pain and numbness and still seeing Dr. Ando, I have also started seeing ken the massage therapist at Ando and Aston and he is great-myofacial release and rolfing teechnique mostly. I am kind of at a plateau-not getting better enough. I am going today for more trigger point injections and will be making an appt soon with Dr. Jordan to talk about a nerve block. Keep in touch-
JKL

Hey Jkl sorry I hadn't been keeping up with the forum the past month or so, I guess I have been getting kind of discouraged now that it's been almost 6 months since my surgery and I feel like I am not really getting better. I will post an update on my thread right now. How is the edgelow protocol working for you? Did you ever end up getting the nerve block?
