PT

Yesterday (1-6-2011) was an off day. It was also my last day of PT. While I feel like I made a lot of progress, I'd gotten so bored and frustrated by the sameness, week after week. Once they found the patch was better than the US for pain management, they stopped doing pretty much everything but that. Like every PT session, yesterday's involved the following exercises:

10 minute arm bike: 5 minutes forward, 5 minutes backward
Green band rows 2 x 15
Green band punches 2 x 15
Green band reverse punches 2 x 15
Blue band external rotations 2 x 30 seconds
Cable machine "clean and press" at 60#, 2 x 15
Cable machine pulldown rows at 80#, 2 x 15
Cable machine chest press, 2 x 20 each side
Ball drop-and-catch 3 x 30 seconds

Then I got the iontophoresis patch. They gave me a green band to keep doing the exercises, which I'll do. More important is keep icing, keep stretching. Strength is coming back.
