Giving my knee a warm compress
FITNESS JOURNAL – Finally I am doing the right thing: seeing professionals about my bum knee. Part of my treatment includes Physical Therapy at Loyola Clinic on Katipunan. My attending PT was Princess Abby who happens to be a college mate of my daughter Diandra.
After a warm compress, an ultrasound session and leg-sercises they ‘released’ my Iliotibial Band. That basically means they turned my outer thighs into minced meat. I should request for an anesthesiologist next time. Or maybe a lawyer.
Basically, what they do is rub a smooth fat stick all over the muscle with the force of a bulldozer for about 5 minutes or until you pass out, whichever comes first.
Once the beating is over and you’re still alive , they freeze you to death with a cold pack on your newly bruised muscles. How nice.
But kidding aside, the pain and bruises were worth it. My legs really felt ‘released’. Like 7 demons were cast out of them.
And then while I was walking to my car I felt like a brand new BMW purring along smoothly. Wow, there is freedom in my legs that I never felt before!
So I guess I’m going back next week. For more PUNISHMENT!
