I took therapy for my back and neck at the InMotion Center in Virginia Beach. I had wanted to participate in their Post Therapy Program where, for a monthly fee, you can keep going to the facility and use their equipment with the added bonus of having trained therapists to answer any questions and help you maintain and not hurt yourself.
I kept waiting for the roads and bridges to be fixed so I could do this…it seems that will never end. But I recently found out that InMotion opened another place near the Strawbridge Wal-Mart. Eureka!!!
Long story, short…I had my first session today! I loved it. The new place isn’t very busy and I practically had the whole room to myself. The therapist combined both of my previous sets of exercises so I can maintain the therapeutic results I’d experienced before.
Yes, I guess I could just do them at home, but you know, if people were actually able to do these things at home and not slack off, then there would not be a gym on every corner across America. I don’t feel bad that I, like so many others, have traveled the road of good intentions.
There’s something about making a great effort of getting dressed and driving to an appointment that makes you feel like you can’t let go, you can’t cave in and that you will keep going and make even more of an effort to do what you need to do.
I am very excited to start this process and look forward to maybe having a healthier body and weight, with less impact on my poor old wearing out joints. Maybe I can keep the arthritis at bay a little bit longer by trying harder than ever before….it is my goal and today was Day 1.
