Hello friends. Just here to share my thankfulness for the extra time we get now that shop is not open formally. Every morning we hit the wellness center together to wake up our bodies with stretching and strengthening. We even go up a stretch class and we love it! Two months have already made such a noticeable difference for me and Mark.
I also completed my physical therapy for my back pain, which has bothered me for over a year. I hurt all the time, every single day. And I didn’t want pain meds to be my life so I pushed for answers. Why? So ultrasound, and MRI later, I know. Low back discs slippage but not surgery level. Yay. PT was a no brainer.
I can move more freely again! My weaknesses were identified so I can work on strengthening them which will take pressure off my back. I can twist without pain! Heck, I’m thrilled to get out of bed without pain! 🥰
The best part of all this change is that Mark and I are doing this together. We are doing this for ourselves. For present self and for future self as we age. But for me, the very best thing is the partnership. He’s my bestie and I love spending time with him! And the bro, of course, but he hasn’t bought into stretching and this type of strengthening. 🙄
PS being able to sit like that in the second shot and not be in pain is not something I take for granted now. Actually, waking up not in pain is also right there. 💝🙌🏼
