Physical Therapy and Fibro..just one part of my story.... The reason I worked hard to become a fitness trainer specializing in fibro and chronic pain is because even the best PTs couldnt help me and in fact, often hurt me!! I worked with chronic pain specialists, NFL physical therapists, flew across the country to attend inpatient chronic pain treatment and again work with a PT there.. How could nobody get it? I used to think... I had to use a different approach.. After years of training, developing fibro safe exercises and trusting in my calling, I realize that very few really get it.. Living with fibro and EI since a young age, being an athlete since a young age also, I just couldnt accept that nobody got it.. I couldnt accept that every one I worked with was doing the very same thing as the one before. So heres the thing....fibro is so very unique. Fibro doesnt play by the rules when it comes to conventional exercise. Physical therapy can actually make some fibros worse!!?? I know its crazy right? I continue working on projects and better ways to convey all of the living smarter concepts. I get it...I know what this illness can do to people.. Even in my own challenges I work to stay motivated because there is something so rewarding to live in the solution... Yes!! Even when the symptoms are high and the fibro is playing its havoc on us, we have conditioned ourselves to trust the process.. Courage only begins to describe it. Body...mind...spirit... Lisa. FFP.
