I went back to my physical therapist this morning. Actually, not Siw whom I´ve been seeing for the past 7 years (sorry Siw), but only because she´s too busy.
Anyways, I´ve been going partly because my neck has been acting up again. Plus the static poses in my art classes are doing a number on my lower back.
She, Trude (another cute girl), first worked on my neck, pressing really hard on the trigger points, and also making me do some strength exercises while lying on her bench.
I mentioned to her that I was sore in my lower back, and in my sides where the butt muscles are. I should be careful about what I tell her, because it was off with my pants and she started working on the trigger points. Man it hurt! I did not realize how bad it was. She kept pressing several places, but felt that it was not enough so she brought out the needles again. She had used them last week on my neck. This is not acupuncture, but rather needles that she inserts and then pokes around to loosen up the trigger points. Sounds as wonderful as it feels!
I thought she would be done after the one needle, but no... she used about 4-5 needles. I think she was enjoying herself back there.
She is incredibly good though, and I trust her.
But now I´m sore as hell! Trying not to walk around like an old man.

Huff, det høyrdest grusamt med desse nålene!! Hjelpte det?
ReplyDeleteEg kan visst vera glad å ha ein fysioterapeut som "berre" brukar nevane sine (og dei er store, det kjennest spesielt godt når han jobbar med støle musklar rundt halsen min...).
Driv du med noko styrketrening for tida da?
Eg kjenner at om eg berre trener litt styrke (ca 40min) ein gong i veka, så klarer eg å halde muskelsmertar i sjakk. Spesielt i nakke og øvre rygg.
Verdt eit forsøk?
God bedring Guy!
Hei Imke!
ReplyDeleteHyggelig at du stikker innom siden min (som har vært litt i dvale).
Disse fysio- og kiropraktor og nåle-timene er litt for å få vekk de værste stivhetene i nakke og korsryggen. Ja jeg glemte å nevne at jeg har vært hos kiropraktor også et par ganger.
Men rumpa føles bedre, dog noe støl ;-P
Jeg har begynt litt med styrketrening, men her må jeg virkelig stte inn et program så jeg holder det ved like. Er nok ikke så flink. Men hun fysion har også vist meg noen øvelser.
Fint at du har en kar som kan kna deg da ;)
Jeg har jo nå disse 2 jentene som begge er veldig flinke, så jeg er veldig heldig der.
Takker for hyggelige tanker :-)
