I had a appointment with my PT yesterday to assess my progress in the area of vestibular rehab. I have experienced some damage due to my MS diagnosis that has affected stabilization and I have been working on exercised to help to improve this.
The interesting thing is that I have not been doing these exercises for very long (just started them about a month ago) and in fact I have been doing the PCP exercises longer. During my appointment yesterday my assessment showed significant progress since my last evaluation in September. I asked my PT is she felt that some of the PCP exercises could be helping and she said it is possible. Many of our exercises--like the lunge for example--test the vestibular system and as such I could be benefiting from them.
Not 100% sure if this is in fact the case but I would like to think it is!
As a side note, my legs are very, very tired. Tomorrow, I have decided to take a day off from jumping and I will focus on all my other exercises. My legs are telling me to take a break.
David, I am really interested in how PCP seems to be helping your MS (I'm a RN, but going to nursing school made me realize there's more to health then popping a pill...thus my interest in PCP and healthy eating). Neat to hear about your MS progress with PCP.
ReplyDeleteGet a walk in tomorrow if possible. Reducing fat and adding muscle is a miracle therapy, I wouldn't be surprised if it changes all kinds of things with your MS and beyond!
ReplyDeleteGreat news and great post.
