I was right…

Therapy hurt today. I went to physical therapy today and after talking to my therapist about increasing my abduction motion in my arm. She said she’s going have to work me over more. And she did…. First I did all my exercises, with a couple new moves. Instead of shoulder shrugs she had me do an arm raise exercise. She told me what it was. But I was like a dog. I would recognize my name but every other word was blah, blah, blah. Any way, finished my exercises and it was time for stretching. This is were she worked me over. She started with a warm up called flexion. I was laying on a padded table and she would take my arm and raise it over my head. This move still hurts. She would take it pretty far and my butt came off the table a couple times. Then she did the abduction. Moving my arm out and up over my head, like standing raising your arm to the side. This was very painful at first. After a few times, it was less painful. Hurt more coming down than going up. Then she would switch to inferior gluide. She would hold my arm out and push down on my upper arm. This stretches the joint capsule. She would go back and forth from abduction to inferior gluide. Not sure how many times she did this because I was concentrating on my breathing, due to the pain I was enduring. Afterward she measured how far I could raise my arm out to the side. (active abdution against gravity) I was able to get up to 120 degrees. Before I could barely get my arm up halfway. So we’re going to be working on these stretching moves for a while. And in case you’re wondering. I asked her about all this afterwards and took notes so I could write this blog. :D
