I'm kind of surprised actually, with the way some other people at work complain about it all the time. (we have a couple PT's that come to my work, and I know a handful of other coworkers who also go see them)
Since I dislocated my shoulder on the job, I get to have tons of fun with Workmans Comp paperwork and reporting everything to HR. I guess the paperwork is better than paying the bills my self though. So for 2 weeks now, I've been going every monday and wednesday to work on rehabilitating my shoulder, and I'm kind of enjoying it. I have been wanting to start working out more, especially building more muscle in my back and shoulders and arms, so Its been great motivation. Its a little awkward to be in this room with one other person, and have them be watching me do these arm and shoulder exercises, but they also are really quick to correct me if I start doing something wrong, and they can tell if I don't do my excercises between appointments.
I've had 3 different people so far, and they guy I have seen the last 2 times has been the best so far. He actually pushes me to keep going and if it doesnt start to hurt (like good, muscles working and getting stronger hurt) toward the end, I have to do more reps. The first day I saw him, hes asking about the excercises the girls had me do and was like "nope, thats too easy. Were going to work harder than that today, get you strong faster" while I'm thinking "yay! make me bigger shoulder muscles!" He's also always asking about the weight and tension of the latex bands, and asking if its easy yet, and if I feel ready to switch to a heavier weight. He's basically already decided that next monday I'm switching from a 2 to 3 pound weight (yeah, sounds kind of pathetic, I know) and the next harder latex band.
I'm hoping I continue to be motivated and keep doing everything after I finish with PT, cause its all good stuff that you don't need big weights or machines to do, and its all targeting the muscles I was lacking the motivation to do on my own.
