Physical Therapy (Part 10)

Angie was coming to the end of her allotted physical therapy sessions. She was informed that if she wanted to continue her therapy into next week, she’s need to get a new prescription from her doctor.

Calls were made and faxes were sent. Finally Angie walked to physical therapy the best she could due to her muscle soreness from the session the day before. Angie checked in and met with Lily before starting her exercises and stretches. She informed Lily that she was sore from the Monster Walk exercise. To which Lily said ‘Yes, that one makes everyone sore the first time.” Angie felt comforted by the fact that she was not the only one who had faced this soreness.

Upon evaluation, Lily told Angie her back was stiff, to which Angie replied ‘I know but it’s not so bad that I can’t sleep, so I deal with it!’

Angie learned a couple more exercises to build up her ‘weak butt’ – which was not news Angie wanted to hear. She did the rest of her exercises and stretches which included the Monster Walk exercise which she will surely make her even stiffer.

I'm very curious to know what this Monster Walk entails! It sounds like a dance or activity on Sesame Street, with Elmo, Grover, Harry and friends. Something tells me that's not quite accurate.
