Chris, I'm glad to help. I'm happy that you are making progress, and keep up the good work! It sounds like you have a great therapist. I know how difficult my journey has been for me and how long it was before I found people who could make a real difference in my care. It was a lot of years. If I knew back then what I know now.....and I want to help others who are on similar journeys. I also know from my therapist that everything I am doing now to fix the fascia and strengthen will help me stay in balance as I age. If you keep things functioning and moving in the correct place, you avoid the uneven pressure that puts wear and tear on joints like knees. My mom went through knee replacement, and I'd like to keep my original set working correctly. Keep doing your stretching even when you are at Mayo being a caregiver. You can do stretches with balls, foam blocks, straps, and I even found a couple of curved (so you could reach around your shoulder) massage sticks with 2 rubber knobs (knob position rotates) at 5 Below that are great for holding to push the fascia and self treat. I use 2 at a time to stretch opposite directions. My PT is even recommending to other patients to buy them. It's like a mini version of a Theracane (which is bigger and hard plastic for deep tissue massage.) I think swimming helps me maintain what my therapist does in session as I keep moving what she has just loosened. I'm glad to hear from you and please let me know how your doing every once in awhile.
