    Good!  Keep doing those slides at home and you'll go from strength to strength (or should that be 'bend to bend':-)))))  Well done!!!!!

    Lots of people take meds before their PT sessions which, yes, are difficult and painful.  Just gotta get through them.  If you do the meds, please don't drive on opioids...

    At PT, it's good to meditate or take your mind somewhere else and not concentrate on the pain...that only makes it worse.  B R E A T H E....that's good.  For me, screaming and cursing worked pretty well too.  Please refer to the chest-waxing scene in the movie "The Forty-Year-Old Virgin".  Yelling "Kelly Clarkson...Richard Nixon" helps a lot.  Dick Cheney is also a good candidate...
