- Jtsummers 6y agoHaving long dealt with chronic pain in various areas I can sympathize. PT is fantastic for this and reducing the pain is an incredible QOL improvement.
- neolog 6y agoWow. Is that a real measured number, or are you guessing?
- 1123581321 6y agoIt’s based on wearing an Apple Watch to bed with HeartWatch and AutoSleep running. About a month of night data preceding the therapy and two months since then.
- neolog 6y agoThat's amazing.
- davidsawyer 6y agoWhat are some things that the therapy session included?
- 1123581321 6y agoIt was designed by the therapist and me after seeing how progress from more generic PT sessions had plateaued short of our goal. Basically a high quantity of precise pressure and controlled movements that were, in her professional estimation, taken as far as possible without risking a regression due to damage or increased pain. My job was to communicate clearly and make clear that I valued progress over comfort at every choice. Quite intense and lengthy, and the 12 hours after had me unsure if her assessment was correct, but it worked out.
