The Active Release therapist just left a few minutes ago. I got an in home session and will see him again next Thursday in Canada. The therapy is really focused on the problem areas of the shoulder. The range of motion has dramatically improved with this therapy. There is discomfort during the therapy but it stops immediately after the session is over. I can tell we are really working on the exact muscles that need the work. I can feel the muscles release and lengthen during the treatment. I had already done a full days exercise before he came, so am taking the rest of the day off. I would recommend this treatment to any with shoulder impingement, or frozen shoulder issues or muscle spacisity problems. It has given me enough range of motion so that I am actually using the arm again, and with what the Saeboflex has done for my hand, I can now force the arm to be a functional limb again. It is amazing how many bad and compensating habits I am having to unlearn. There is still shoulder pain, but considerably less than before. I have also been able to reduce the muscle relaxers I have been taking. Stopped one completely, gradually reducing the other.

Not everything I have tried has worked, but this one is.

We reserved the spaniel puppy today. As soon as it is old enough, we'll get it. About 7 weeks to go. It is a male, still deciding on a name. Any suggestions? It will be mostly black and some white when grown. I am thinking maybe Spot, but open to almost anything. We finally agreed on which one to get. We are getting the smaller one I wanted, mainly because it will be a smaller adult. I gave Lesley the choice, and she decided smaller was better. We would like to have some bed left for us.
