"NORMAL"!!! (For today, at least...)

[froelica]

Well, I just had my 8th PT session (I've got 4 more to go) and my resting muscle tone was down to 1.8!!! I started out at 6.4, but now I'm down in the normal zone, finally!! Yay :woohoo:
I hope this gives some of you hope that PT can work for some people

Erika:woohoo:

Awesome, I hope it goes well for you!

It's amazing to see how high your tone is at first on the machine. The screen was almost completely black when I started, there was almost no distinction between my "resting" and "clenching" tones!!

My PT showed me a comparison between this week's visit and my first visit and WOWEEE!!! Such a difference!! Just make sure to really take care of yourself during this time and the effort will pan out.

Hey that is great news! How long have you been at it? What machine are you talking about?

[froelica]

I can never remember what its called. The vaginal sensors that are connected to the monitor that shows your muscle tone.

Ok, I know what it is. I had that done long ago with the first PT. Think she said it was biofeedback. I didn't have any problems with relaxing the muscles down there so only did it twice. Glad it helps you!

[rosesitty]

It's a biofeedback machine...

[froelica]

Yes.... Thank you! As you can see I have the best memory in the world

[Tip and IBS]

I have PFD and suffer a lot.Perhaps it's mostly because i also have irritable bowel and irritable bladder.

OK lets say you have normal tone,what is your improvement with IBS?

[froelica]

My IBS has been much better since starting PT. I also drink more water, take fiber, and eat less cheese, so that could be helping too. I've had very little problems with IBS for quite some time now (except during my period, there's just no helping that, though....).
