Terri - "Think of it like this: if you take a yard of material and grab it in the middle and twist it; the whole yard of material is affected. The body is a lot like that yard of fabric, especially when it comes to connective tissue like muscles." What a great analogy! It's a lot like the PT has been telling me. He releases a knot or strain in one spot, and the next visit a new one has popped up elsewhere. Baby steps!

@joanng Hang in there Joann - as someone who was "on the couch" coughing and in pain two years ago, I can tell you I am back to "almost normal" and can do an 8 hour day - wrangling 2 young grandsons and an active dog. Terri & her encouragement helped me get there.
