Physical Therapy

I gave in. After 6 months of pain I decided to see the PT.

I dislike going to the doctor unless I have too. I love doctors. I think they do wonderful work and are very knowledgeable. I am a big believer in medicine and everything that doctors can do. But going to one requires time, I have very little of this just lying around, and money. If you know me at all you know I am cheap and I HATE spending money. I LOVE saving money :) But I decided that this whole knee pain thing was not going away on its own so I better get some treatment.

My physical therapist started me on Astym therapy. Apparently all the training I have done in the last 4 years has caused some problems. I now have scar tissue on my tendons (knee, hamstring, and ITB). The little tools he uses scrapes all that scar tissue off.

Does that sound painful to you? Let me just clarify, it is excruciatingly painful. But it feels awesome when he's done :)

Best of all I can train while going through therapy :) Yeah me!!!
