    I’ve had physical therapy numerous times before and after my diagnosis in May of 2017. About 2 years ago I heard that one of the facilities I’ve been to in the past was hiring a physical therapist that only worked with people with neurological conditions. It made a world of difference in that in the past I reached a point where my body would rebel against the therapy and be on a plateau. We couldn’t get past it and they’d tell me that there wasn’t much they could do as we’d gone as far as we could go. So they’d release me from treatments, Medicare has standards of progress, which played into it. With my current therapist we’ve worked around any plateau that we’ve encountered and that’s made all the difference. Even after two hip replacements since May 2023 I continue to make progress. Not as fast as I want but she points out to me where I began and where I am now and how well I’m doing. I let her bring any therapist in training to join in touch, ask questions, nothings off the table. I figure I’m helping others by being available.
