Now that I'm seeing progress with physical therapy, I'm realizing a secondary benefit: I finally feel some sense of control over this disease. In pain? 10 cat/cows and 10 bridges is usually all it takes to break up the acute pain. Have a big day tomorrow? 3 reps today of all my exercises will give me some energy the next day.
I've been surprised by 2 things: first, the body can fall apart quickly when you can't move, and second, simple movement really works.

I'm happy to report to that this morning I woke up without any of that annoying deep hip pain that often accompanies lupus! Also, I'm on day 2 of managing to wake up and sit at the kitchen table for breakfast with my best beloved.
As it turns out, exercise was the key, and I"m slight grumpy about that.

First round of Physical Therapy done!! 
New therapist is awesome which is great! I'm making great progress. 
Since I am mostly immobile and wearing loose clothes, I threw all my stuff into this mini coach backpack my coworker thrifted and gave me. 
Dynamic hops for knee stability, power, and fun! 
Watch my rockstar online fitness client crush (one year post knee surgery) these banded in-and-out hops off a low platform.
This move delivers:
Explosive lower body power (strength & speed)Focused glute, adductor, and quad activationCardioBone density benefits
Start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can. 
Seeing a professional back pain specialist doctor near me was really beneficial. It helped me with precise diagnosis, effective treatment, and speedy recovery.

NINETEENTH CENTURY PHYSIOTHERAPY ORIGINS
Mastodon Host
Attached is the main part of a summer 1856 medical journal advertisement for Dr. Taylor's Water Cure Establishment. The second item is my commentary on the ad plus information about the early development of physical therapy in the United States. If you are interested in the histories of physical therapy and massage therapy, my posts (TribeOfJesse) at FamilySearch.org under the names of George Herbert Taylor and George Henry Patchen in the Sources sections may be worth your while to look through. For some reason, the Person record for Dr. George H. Taylor are hard to find at FamilySearch. The easiest thing is to search on the name of his son, William George Langworthy Taylor of Lincoln, Nebraska, and then link to the father. FamilySearch can be a bit hard to use until one gets used to it. Search on a person's name and in the Results list many entries have something like a decorated < symbol. Clicking on it ought to lead to a Person record. My most numerous and extensive posts are under the Sources heading. Click on a Sources entry and it ought to expand considerably. The present entry is under the year 1856 and has the title, "Swedish Movement Cure Department at Dr. Taylor's Water Cure, Summer 1856." None of these words should throw you. It is not an article about hydropathy but rather a post about early physical therapy. Incidentally, Dr. George Henry Patchen went on to become the medical theoretician of chiropractic. W.G. Langworthy Taylor wrote a 1937 textbook about spiritualism titled "Immortality." Dr. Charles F. Taylor's grandson, also named Charles Fayette Taylor, was one of the most important pioneers of aviation. A lot of brilliant people were in this Taylor line.

One of my pieces of homework for postpartum pelvic floor physical therapy is to hold my pee longer.
Basically, pregnancy trained me to pee often, and now I have to strengthen my bladder muscle by letting it stretch more. So aiming to pee every 2 hours instead of every 45 minutes during the day, and only pee once at night.
It's tough!! And it goes hand in hand with letting the rest of my pelvic floor relax. But I've been making progress.
Today's session at the physical therapist's was the most relaxing in a long time. I wouldn't have minded if it had lasted an hour or two.
Unfortunately, it probably also was the last one as the pain is almost 100% gone (talking with the doctor next). Or maybe it felt better than usual because it was the way the therapist had to say goodbye?

If it hurts...
Don't do it (punchline you shouldn't need to hear)
Grin/think happy thoughts & bear it (mostly during medical/dental treatment, ie remember attending spring training in Florida)
Take pain meds (minimum effective doses & probably with food)
Strengthen/heal it (sensibly)
Seek medical attention (not medical research)
Deny it (at your own peril)
Embrace it (for worst case scenarios only)

Today my PT asked about the loofahs on my walker. I got to tell her about The Villages loofah code in FL.
Then she told me about the nudist camp by her cabin. I knew exactly what she was talking about. I told her that after one of my shows where I talked about not wanting to go camping a lovely couple came up to me and invited me to their campground. They did a great of selling it to me.
In their 20 minute pitch not once did they explain it was a nudist camp (the same one my PT was telling me about.) I had to find that info out by googling it 
Considering I'm almost concluding my first semester of #physicalTherapy school (AKA #physiotherapy), I think it's time for my #introduction to have an update.
I hope to continue to share things I find interesting on this account, which isn't limited to physical therapy. I believe in being well-rounded through learning by following wherever curiosity leads, not just in one area.
Due to the program being fast-paced, I might only be able to post once in a while.
@mekkaokereke as a former physical therapist I can attest that women are qualified and excellent at coaching men in matters of athletic performance. We just don't see it for what it is.
The people who help you relearn how to walk after a stroke, rehab from ACL surgery, return to jogging after back pain, or jump again after an Achilles injury are all coaches at the end of the day... and most of them are women.
It's in a medical setting, but we're applying principles of athletic performance to the daily lives of ordinary people who may or may not have needed that coaching for athletic gain.
Oh, but they're at vastly different levels?
Do we really think that people who can train someone with a spinal cord injury to stand again by helping them recruit 20% more quad muscle can't also train someone to run faster?
Women have been doing this all along. We just discount what they do because we're not used to seeing them in the role of advisors.
Advice on whether to apply heat or ice to injuries has gone hot and cold so many times we're all excused for having no clue. Our resident physical therapist clears it all up. Well, mostly. Turns out even science isn't sure on this, but there are accepted protocols, and getting it right can be the difference between a swift recovery or making it worse. My take: The body often tells us what to do, if we just listen. https://medium.com/wise-well/is-icing-still-the-standard-for-new-injuries-8a771adb70f4 ?sk=a043277024c1c1b918efc408e39ff498 #physicaltherapy #pain #medicine
