How Did You Feel After Your First Physical Therapy Session?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­
Charlotte, NC

My pt used some very gentle movements with me which did not take long. He said I would be tired afterwards. When I got home, I was suddenly exhausted. I fell asleep in my recliner and again after dinner. I went to bed early and got up feeling tiredtired this morning and fibro pain much worse.😒

I was exhausted and hurting after physical therapy. Definitely felt like a walking, talking, head to toe bruise. The fibro fog was out of hand, it was severe.

I felt like I had been in a an accident and was completely covered in black and blue skin. Only I wasn't. I was just tired and sore.

Caused me terrible pain. Only helpful physical therapist I had was, she had me lay on a big heating pad for 30 minutes when I first came in. Then they would use some kind of laser heat things on me. And then move my body around and give me gentle stretches to do at home
