Follow Up #2

Well yesterday was the second follow up and because of my flexibility they are already pushing me pretty good. Got on the sono heat and then started exercises. First I did some shoulder stretches just moving the shoulder blades. Next I used a fitness/yoga ball doing some finger roll which didn't bother me at all, and I was almost completely extended. Then was pendulum swings; I did rotation, side to side and front to back(almost a bowling motion). It all felt fine until the front to back, the joints and muscles were just too tight and it hurt a bit, but I was getting some great motion. I went back to the fitness/yoga ball for more rolls and was back to great extension again. Last was the electrical stimulation and the game ready; game ready is a machine that pulsates ice water through a padded shoulder brace and it feels amazing! All day after this session I was a little sore and really tightened up and by the evening I was hurting a bit. Today I am still a little sore but it feels pretty good again and I am starting to work the motion a little more. I am still sticking to my theory of my EFX band and my flexibility. Well, that's it for now and I thank you for reading and will post again after my Friday therapy. Last thing I can say is that I REALLY miss bowling at this point. Until next time...

First Therapy Session

Sorry for the delay on this post, busy weekend. So my first therapy session was Friday and I was really concerned about the amount of pain I would be in after. But to my surprise there was none, and let me tell you why. As my therapist began working out my arm he was shocked at how easily I was loosening up and how much flexibility I had after I was loose with no pain. He had to have mentioned it atleast 5 times on how shocked he was about it. All I kept doing was looking at the little EFX bracelet and could only wonder. So while I can't say it is the sole reason, or even the reason; by the reaction of my therapist I am s believer in the power of EFX. Not to mention the focus and success I was having on the lanes before my injury. I think it is also important to point out that I am not sponsored by EFX. I was a supporter going into surgery, I am now a believer and a HUGE supporter of the product. I am hoping EFX may even get me back on the lanes early! Until next time....
