Can I just say that physical therapy has a whole new meaning to me! I've never had an injury of any sort so this has been a brand new experience. I've always heard the saying mind over matter which I have applied to many other circumstances throughout my life but I had no idea it could be used when helping torn ligaments mend back together! I can't believe how your mind can play such an important role in this. Just when I thought I could not bend my knee any further because the pain was too excruciating, Martha reminds me to relax and there goes the knee, further than before. I have come leaps and bounds in just three weeks. My first day of PT I measured at 82 degrees of flexion which is how far my knee would bend, today I was at 112 degrees. Stretching and doing the exercises they gave me has played a key part in my healing. Not to mention the two phenomenal physical therapists that have aided me in my recovery. They have gone above and beyond and have been persistent in every way. It takes a special person to do what they do and I will forever be indebted to them.
