Embrace Your Destiny: Physical Therapy

Embrace Your Destiny: Physical Therapy 

I have been doing physical therapy off and on since the very beginning of my destiny with MS. My Neurologist, Dr. Bertics, prescribed PT immediately after being diagnosed. I quickly learned that much of what I thought I was doing at the gym was not right. I found that I was using way too much weight for most exercises and in the process, causing muscle and joint pain. I learned stretching exercises to do daily. I also learned to identify and avoid risky situations. I never realized uneven grass, unpaved surfaces, and dips in the walking surface could be so dangerous!

Embrace Your Destiny: Everybody Has Something

I'm convinced, everybody has something they are working on. It's our destiny and we only get one chance through this lifetime to work on it. One of my hot yoga teachers ends class sometimes with, "There is nothing more important in your life than your life." I am grateful and happy to know that Multiple Sclerosis is my destiny. Now I can concentrate on doing everything I can to make things better for me and my family.
