2 weeks post hip arthroscopy (again)
The best perk of being a PT you ask? Most definitely... having PT friends. After a long day in clinic, Jackie (ahem... Dr. Piccone) worked some PT magic and finally got my muscles to chill the F out. Combo ultrasound + e-stim for the win! It provided a similar effect that dry needling would have (although not quite as specific or focused) and seriously helped get my spasms in check.
I always tell my patients that surgery is "elective trauma." And although those procedures are necessary to fix an underlying structural deficiency/injury, it always leaves you with collateral damage. In fact, you are often left MORE broken leaving the OR than you were when you went in. I am forever thankful for the skillful hands of Dr. Mei-Dan, but I know that it would all be for nothing without all the fabulous PT's in my life who have helped put me back together again (and again... and again... and again... and again... and again) after surgery. Both physically and mentally. So THANK YOU. I love you all and am so grateful to have had you by my side through all of this <3
