2nd PT session with the correct PT guy. Did a bunch of exercises with a ball as well as having some e-stimulation, which according to Web MD:
Electrical stimulation, including transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TENS), implanted electric nerve stimulation, and deep brain or spinal cord stimulation, is the modern-day extension of age-old practices in which the nerves of muscles are subjected to a variety of stimuli, including heat or massage. Electrical stimulation, no matter what form, involves a major surgical procedure and is not for everyone, nor is it 100 percent effective.
I also got kinesio tape, like the beach volleyball players used last summer at the Olympics.
Kinesio Taping gives support and stability to your joints and muscles without affecting circulation and range of motion. It is also used for Preventive Maintenance, Edema, and Pain Management.
Hoping I won't have a reaction to the adhesive on it but I was told it's Japanese and may use a different adhesive than American ones. It can be on for 1-2 days and you can shower with it on.
