recovery process

My recovery process began as I started seeing Rocky Wang more regularly (the acupuncturist I told you about in my last post). Although I have come to see that he is the best, at first I was absolutely mortified about getting needles put in me and was unsure if this man so many people said saved him could really help me. However, as I started realizing how valuable these needles were, I allowed him to put more in, and just last week he put his record amount: four needles!

I also recently began seeing a man named Michael Westgate. He uses trigger point therapy to re-engage muscles to do their appropriate jobs correctly. (Trigger points are places in the body that are extremely sensitive/ irritable and because they are inflamed, they contribute to muscle pain).

From both these modes of recovery I have seen a huge change in my pain which has given me the pleasure and ability to go back to the gym. I go on the stationary bike at the gym, yes, but it is a fancier bike thus I can set it to work with me giving me a better workout. Plus as I said in my last post- I have moved to doing a little bit of weights again as well!
