A Pearl of wisdom from my Physio

August 11, 2006

Hi Nic,

Looks like today was the day for Physio's!

I'm absolutely astounded that YOU found it so uncomfortable to look at

yourself in the mirror......You are a STUNNING & VIVACIOUS woman & you

should Know that RIGHT NOW...remember.....Who & What we Think we see

in the mirror isnt always what other people see.

As for my Physio,heres what I learned from him today while I was

getting Physio for the referred pain in my shoulder.

It just so happened that todays Therapist-On-rotation ( Public

hospital, So you get who youre given ) happens to have worked with my

surgeon some time ago,so he is quite familiar with the ins N outs of

what happens to our bodies from a Physios point of view After this

kind of surgery.I happened to mention to him that my back was out for

No particular reason that I could pinpoint & that's when he told me

that That was absolutely normal after This kind of surgery ( Huh ?

)...He also mentioned that I should expect some pain in my feet as I

lost more weight ( already got that too ! )...reason for all this is

Basically RE-ALIGNMENT.

Since for so long I've been walking Gut-Out,leaning backwards to

compensate for being front-heavy ( it's just like being pregnant

again...Except without the baby ! )...But now that I'm loosing

weight... & starting to walk more Upright,my back is having a bit of a

trying time adjusting to the new angle.

Anyway he showed my some exercises which he said should ease my back

into " remembering " how it " Should " be aligned rather than what my

excess weight has forced it to have to adjust to.He also said that its

vital that I do CORE exercises to strengthen my abdominal walls in

order to stabilise my back & therefore my whole upper body.

How interesting is that I ask you ?

Anyway, I thoguth this was important enought o share with all you

guys... But now that I think of it...most of you ladies/gents whove

lost serious weight probably already know this stuff.....But just in

case...Now you know that " WHY " ?

Sue.
