Providence Gresham Rehabilitation

AY-​YI-​YI-​YI– Not sure what the heck my body is complaining about or why, but I have to get it untwisted and less whacked up. I don’t care that I just learned to run almost 3 miles straight without stopping, and that I’m an older person, and it might not be so good for my frame. I love running and I demand the pain stop! And that was my longest run-​on sentence yet, speaking of running!
I have gone here previously for another pretzel logic body issue and was cured by the laying of the hands. I actually have never had any experience, (lucky me), with physical therapy until I went here. I am used to going to chiropractors that seem to ‘force’ your body in to poses to align the bones back in to place. That never seems to work for me because I am just so tense from the pain and the acrobatic chiro-​ography, (if you will).
I entered in to one of their rooms and the curtain is pulled. My physical therapist was very patient and asked me to explain the whats, and wheres, and how comes. Once I did this, the magic began. She had me do poses that you would normally do in real life, and then she placed her arms in different positions over areas of my body. I immediately started to tense up, but she did not grab me like a knot and force, but just gently pulled and, sometimes pushed. I trusted her at that point. As she was working over me using various positions, she was actually speaking in tongues, well, ok she was talking to herself, or perhaps singing that bone connection song to figure out the puzzle.
For those of you that understand PT talk, my pelvic frame was out of whack, T12 and L3 as well. We are still working out the kinks and I know we will have success after a few more sessions.
