I think I mentioned in a blog last week that I had a physical therapy appointment because of a pain in my neck (the physical not the metaphorical kind). After that first session I was approved by my insurance company for 12 more sessions. So today I had my second half hour with Nicky. Last week she focused all her efforts on massaging my neck, trying to figure out what was going on and I thought it all felt wonderful. Today her true colors came out. Think drill sergeant dressed in a fluffy bunny suit. She did get around to massaging my neck toward the end of the session but first she put me through my paces. No more just lying around on the table. I did arm and shoulder exercises with weights and giant rubber bands, and a little goodie called seated isometric cervical side bending. There was more but you get the idea. But the lowest blow of all was that, after I had performed all the tricks, she gave me a lengthy printout and informed me that I only need to do these exercises at home for about a half hour a day. Home work? No body said anything about homework! She even gave me my own giant rubber bands, blue and green, to use at home, so no excuses. Darn.
