Hey Kim! @ccasper is absolutely right! I started with mine today, and honestly, Im amazed at what she knew. I suffer constant back cramping and she explained how Chemo shrinks the sheath over the muscles. She took me through alot of stretching exercises and honestly they were so good, so she's looking at getting my core strong, thats the aim. She also said its a slow process, as all my muscles are fatigued and it will take time, but we will get there. Ive never been to one, but they are very different to a PT, and Ccasper you are so right, they are just so knowledgable and able to help recovery. Im a long way from riding a bike for 30mins or running a marathon LOL, but she was so kind and worked with me if that makes sense, as I was so self conscious and felt really anxious and vulnerable. I never used to be like that, but its what treatment has done I guess. So Im looking forward to a slow journey but a great one!!! So Kim if you can find one I think you'll enjoy it, as its not just about exercise. Hugs Melinda xo
