Life in Physical Therapy

You want me to do what? Stand on my only remaining leg for 3 minutes? It has been dormant for almost 3 months.



Hey, I can actually do this.


I made it for three minutes. Tomorrow we go for 4.

Kevin works on restoring range of motion to my foot.

Time to have my back treatment of electrical stimulation with heat,. Add my mp3 player and some fine tunes. This is a great way to end my session.
