I agree. So far no luck with physical therapists but I am willing to try again. Can you explain what your therapist is doing to help you? In my case, the therapists went gung ho and pushed me along too soon.

@arcuri24 the MFR therapist is across between acupressure and a deep intense massage. It is painful. Sometimes recovery takes me a day or two. But it’s pretty amazing as I stand straighter and taller and I have less pain. I am 68 years old and my degenerative physical condition has taken its toll. So muscles and bones don’t stay in place and they go into spasm and that spasm state pulls and tugs on other parts of my body and pulls them into the pain as well. Sometimes our muscles start moving together as the fascia that covers the muscle acts like a gloomy substance that gets glued together. The MFR therapist pushes on the muscles until they unglue and they move separately. This promotes more strength and endurance. I am climbing up stairs and the ladder to put up my Halloween decorations, like I’m 15 years younger than I was last year.
