“48 years in a body seems like plenty of time to know how to use it, yes? I think this is a reasonable assumption. However, learning how to use something and learning how to use something well are not necessarily equal. I had learned, inmynearfivedecadesof life,howtoget thingsdonewiththeequipment Ipossess.What I had not figured out on my own was how to do it well.That’s what I learned at physical therapy. Essentially, I learned how to find my strength.
Much like what one learns in counseling when dealing with emotional trauma, the lessons in physical therapy bring about a new sense of control and empowerment. A significant and pivotal alteration in the perception of one’s body, its mechanics, and its strength, move one from a position of passivity to power, from a place of helplessness with pain to an active stance of engagement with healing. My pain may have only been in my neck, but my entire self, benefitted. I am forever grateful to Jonathan for his endless patience with me as I learned, asked questions ad nauseam, and gave him the eye of a skeptic more than once. His extensive knowledge, sense of humor, and willingness to “enter in” gave me the sense that I wasn’t in this alone. I had a committed partner for the journey ahead. The photo you see here is of me hiking in Colorado. This was something I would not have even attempted before coming to physical therapy. Here’s to many more hikes to come, and to many new skills learned with Jonathan to put into practice! - Sarah V.
It’s that time of year again! Fall is upon us. The weather has begun changing and life has been getting busier with school, sports, and holidays. Last month, I took my two children to their favorite pumpkin patch and had a blast! There were petting zoos, bounce houses, corn mazes, caramel apples, and of course, pumpkin spice everything. We also made sure to get our annual flu shots and I hope you will too. Cheers to a happy and healthy November! All the best, Derek
