Word about Physical Therapy

Physical therapy is a trip! Simple movements like bending your knee, walking up a stair, or sitting down that were automatic are suddenly a chore and struggle. Physical therapy teaches you how to do them again through simple exercises. The good news is that you do improve, but it's a long process. At least your not alone, you'll see a lot of other people with the same or worse problems than you, neck, back, shoulders etc. which may make you feel that your problem isn't that bad and if nothing else, you can always strike up a conversation with your physical therapist to help get you through the mundane routines.
Small steps do lead to big improvements if you try hard enough.
